Dual/Concurrent, IB, and AP Courses
All Dual/Concurrent (1000-level and above), International Baccalaureate (IB), and Advanced Placement (AP) courses will be weighted on a five-point scale in order to account for increased rigor. All other courses that do not fall into the listed categories will be calculated on a standard four-point scale. Please see below for more information on the course approval processes:
- Dual/Concurrent Courses: Courses 1000-level and above, in addition to being grade-weighted on a five-point scale, will also count for one full year of content for Hathaway purposes. Dual/Concurrent courses below the 1000-level will count for .5 year of content and will be calculated on the standard four-point GPA calculation for Hathaway purposes.
- IB Courses: To be considered for the HSC, IB courses must be part of an approved program by the International Baccalaureate Program. Please refer to this link for more information regarding the IB Program approval process. Once approved by the International Baccalaureate Program, course syllabi may be submitted to the Hathaway Team for HSC approval.
- AP Courses: To be considered for the HSC, AP courses must first be approved by the AP College Board. Please refer to this link for more information regarding the AP College Board approval process; please note there are deadlines in place to submit courses for approval. Once courses are approved by the AP College Board, course syllabi may be submitted to the Hathaway Team for HSC approval.
