Matriculation Protocols


Failing Grades

If a student fails a required course that is not a prerequisite for a higher-level course:
 
  1. The student must make up the course with written approval from the Academic Dean or Principal through an approved credit recovery program with a passing grade before graduation.
  2. Preferably, the class will be made up the summer after the failed class. However, core classes are BHCA specific; limited substitute courses are available so the make-up will have to be in a subsequent year. 
  3. Students that plan to enroll in a 4-year university after graduating from BHCA are strongly recommended to remediate all D grades in the following courses: English, Social Studies, Math, Science, Foreign Language, and Visual/Performing Arts.
 
A grade earned in a repeated course will be posted on the student’s transcript if it is taken at BHCA. Only repeated courses taken at BHCA will be calculated in revising the GPA unless an external credit-recovery course is specifically approved by the administration in writing.
 
Failure to earn the minimum number of credits at a particular grade level will affect the student’s grade level status and may result in an inability to graduate in four years (see Grade Level Status section for more information).
 
If a student fails to earn a minimum grade of C in a course that serves as a prerequisite for a higher-level course:
 
  1. Student should make every effort to make up the course through an approved credit recovery program over the summer with a grade of C or higher.
  2. If student fails to make up the course before the start of the next school year, student WILL NOT be able to enroll in higher-level course(s).  In this case:​
a. Student may retake the class at BHCA if schedule permits
b. If the schedule does not permit a retake, student must enroll in independent study and make up the class through an approved credit recovery program prior to the start of the next school year.
c. Please note that when prerequisite courses are not made up in a timely manner, scheduling issues will arise that may persist for      the remainder of the student’s time at BHCA.

A grade earned in a repeated course is posted on the transcript and is used for prerequisite consideration. Only repeated courses taken at BHCA and approved external credit-recovery courses will be calculated in revising the GPA.

Grade Level Status

As a general rule for purposes of grade level status, the following minimum credits must be earned:
​
  1. Freshmen must earn a minimum of 60 credits to move to Sophomore status.
  2. Sophomores must earn a minimum of 120 credits to move to Junior status.
  3. Juniors must earn a minimum of 180 credits to move to Senior status.
