SCC’S GRADING SYSTEM
CC GRADES
п‚ЎRemember that the grade you earn at the
community college starts your college GPA
п‚ЎWhen you are at the community college you
can be placed on academic probation and/or
dismissal
 Students who do not maintain standard academic achievement
can be placed on academic probation, dismissal or progress
dismissal
 GPA should be a 2.0 or better (that is a “C” average)
EVERY SO OFTEN…
п‚ЎYou will need to log back into your
community college application to update
what semester you will be attending the
community college of your choice
IE: Fall 2014 then again Spring 2015
FERPA
п‚ЎFamily Educational Rights and Privacy Act
п‚ЎFERPA gives parents certain rights with
respect to their children's education records.
These rights transfer to the student when he or
she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school
beyond the high school level.
What this means is if you want to grant your parent/guardian access to your
community college records, then you (the student) need to put this in writing
otherwise the college has to maintain your community college records off limits
to your parent/guardian even though you are a minor
