    Endorsements: Again this year, North Carolina graduates will have the opportunity to earn Endorsements to their High School Diploma. Endorsements are not required to graduate but are an additional recognition from the state. Endorsements are earned by completing specific coursework, maintaining a minimum GPA, etc. Students may earn multiple endorsements and no special application is needed. Students earning an endorsement will be recognized with a seal placed on the diploma and the endorsement will be indicated on the transcript.

    GPA Calculator

    Q: What is the difference between a weighted GPA and an unweighted GPA?

    A: An unweighted GPA calculates your average grade on a 4.0 scale (usually) regardless of how easy or difficult a class may be (i.e. an "A" is worth 4 quality points no matter the level). A weighted GPA considers the level of the course and awards the student more quality points based on the grade received (i.e. an "A" on an honors-level course is 4.5 quality points, and an "A" in an AP/college level course is 5 quality points).

    Q: What is class rank and where can I find it?

    A: Class rank is a mathematical summary of a student's academic record compared to those of other students in the graduating class. Your rank can be found on your transcript.
