This page is intended for calculation of the final Class grade in a class with an EOC in a year in which the EOC is given "on-campus". Please note the following rules:

1. The grade is for one full year. Only one grade will appear on your transcript.
2. The EOC can NOT be exempted. If you refuse or fail to take the EOC enter the EOC grade as "F#" to find your course grade.
3. You MAY be allowed exempt the mid-term but you cannot exempt more than a total of 3 midterms. Midterms in AP, AICE, FLVS/BVS, and/or Dual Enrollment classes can NOT be exempted. If in doubt, check with your advisor.

1. Details of calculation for exempted exams can be found in This paper
2. Exemption can be applied to a maximum of 3 courses and requires both quarter grades B or above.
3. If you are eligible to exempt, the MT-X row will show the grade and points for the exempted exam and the CLASS-X row will show the resulting Semester Class grade. Otherwise they will be blank.
4. EOCs can NEVER be exempted.
5. Midterms in some EOC classes CAN be exempted.
6. Midterms in AP, AICE, FLVS/BVS, and/or Dual Enrollment classes can NOT be exempted.
7. A grade of F* is an F because of the 2/3 rule: given the First Quarter, Second Quarter, and Midterm, you you must receive a grade of D or above in at least 2 of these 3 to receive a grade above F for the semester, even if the remaining grade is an "A".

This page is intended for calculation of the final Class grade in a class intended to have an EOC but in a year in which the EOC can not be given. For example 2019 - 2020. Please note the following:

1. The grade is for one full year. Only one grade will appear on your transcript.
2. Grading of classes impacted by the lack of normal Final Exams or EOCs during the Spring Semester of the 2019-2020 school year is done according to the "FINAL EXAM INFORMATION" obtainable from this link for Coral Glades HS
3. If the student earns a grade of "A", "B+", "B", "C+", or "C" in quarter 4, then the grade substitution for the EOC will be the highest of the grades from Quarters 1 - 4.
4. IF the student earns a grade of “D” in quarter 4, then the grade for the EOC is the highest of the grades from Quarters 3 or 4.
5. Because the EOC is restricted to "whole-letter" grades, if the highest grade as calculated above is a "B+", this will yield a grade of "B" on the EOC, a "C+" will give a "C" and a "D+" will give a "D".

Final Exams for non-EOC Courses:

1. The waiver of final exams has been done by BCPS administration.
2. The substitute mark for the final exam grade will be the higher of the 3rd or 4th Quarter Grade. Reference
3. Final grades are calculated by the appropriate formula described in SBBC Policy 6000.1 (see Appendix C starting on page 93).

The Index page contains links to the various scenarios. White rectangles contain items you can change. Blue rectangles are constant or depend on calculations based on data you have entered.

When you move from page-to-page the data on each individual page is preserved, so you can go from any page to another and back and don't have to re-enter any of the data. All data is erased if you close the browser window or tab, or do a page refresh.

This is a secure page. I can not and do not see or store any of the data entered by you.

There is a QR code pointing to this calculator so that teachers, at their discretion, could post it in their classrooms to allow students easy access to the the final location of the completed calculator using the camera on their phone.
