The grading systems for each individual course will be explained to the students by the course instructor.
Grades are earned by the student after completing the entire course, and the final grade is assigned by the EXCEL teacher in the high school. If the course covers the full school year, one final grade is assigned at the end of the year-long course.
A few weeks before the end of the course, the EXCEL office sends grade rosters to the high school instructors. Instructors should review the rosters and contact the Director of EXCEL Student Services at 314-392-2203 to note any needed changes.
Once the course ends, the high school instructor completes the grade roster, signs and dates the form, and submits the forms to the designated EXCEL coordinator in that building. In some cases, the high school prefers that the instructor mail the signed form directly to the EXCEL office.
In either case, the EXCEL coordinator and/or the instructor should retain a copy of the completed grade roster in case a question arises after the original is mailed. In cases in which the completed roster is faxed to the EXCEL office, the original copy should be mailed as a confirmation.
Current policy ending July 31, 2008: EXCEL course grades of A, B, and C will appear on the official Missouri Baptist University transcript. Courses in which the student receives a D or F will be dropped from the record and will not appear on the official transcript. (For new policy effective August 1, 2008, click here.)
Because the high school semester ends later than the MBU semester, students will receive grade reports from the EXCEL office after high school instructors have submitted grades and after they have been entered into the student transcripts.
