Testing and Grading Standards

Grading Standards

The following academic letter grades will be used: A, B, C, D, F. Plus’ (+) or minus’ (-) will be used, except in the case of A+ and F-. The letter grades D+, D, and D-, are not accepted as transfer credit unless approved by the Director of Park City Independent. Most courses have a one-year time frame for completion. If necessary, a sixty (60) day extension may be granted. It is the responsibility of the student to apply for an extension. Tuition will not be refunded for incomplete courses. There will be no rounding up or down of any score or grade issued by Park City Independent.

NOTE: Students are expected to master their work at a minimum of B- performance.

Testing Standards

Testing Proctors

Student progress is assessed throughout the year by quizzes, as well as mid-terms and final exams. Some testing requires an approved proctor.

Approved Proctors

Some mid-terms and final exams require an approved proctor. The proctor must be submitted and approved by the school prior to supervising tests. Proctors must have a Bachelors degree and not be an immediate family member (i.e. a parent, guardian, or sibling) of the student. Students will be notified when proctoring is required for a test.
