The following provisions shall apply beginning with students who graduate in 2018. The full policy EIC (Local) is available on the district website at www.granburyisd.org/policy.
Eligible AP, honors, dual credit, and practicum/internship level CTE courses designated in the student handbook shall be categorized as Advanced Academic Courses, and shall receive advanced credit based on the number of academic credits. The College Board has mandated that schools no longer use the Pre-AP prefix for their advanced courses; these courses now have the Honors prefix.
The District shall determine an unweighted GPA for each student using grades from eligible courses. Upon completion of advanced credits, as outlined in the table below, a 1.25 multiplier will be applied to the student’s cumulative GPA.

Upon completion of grade 12, a student who has earned 16 advanced credits shall have a 1.25 multiplier applied to his or her cumulative GPA. A student who had not completed 16 advanced credits shall have his or her GPA reverted to unweighted status.
FIDELITY POINTS
Each student who participates in and completes four years of an eligible course and related extracurricular activity, as applicable, during high school shall be awarded a fidelity point. A student may substitute a fidelity point for up to two advanced courses. The list of eligible courses shall be designated in administrative regulations.
**Please note that while academic counselors review student progress toward completion of the 16 advanced academic credits, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that he/she registers for and successfully completes the required advanced academic credits at each grade level.
ADVANCED ACADEMIC CREDIT COURSE INFORMATION
Advanced Academic Credits (AAC) are tied to the credits earned in the course. For example, if the course is ½ credit, ½ AAC is earned; however if the course is 1 credit, 1 AAC is earned. No one course can earn more than 2 AACs, regardless of number of earned credits.
