    GPA Computation
    Grades earned in courses identified as honors, Advanced Placement, or joint-enrolled with a local college receive a the following weighting:
    Honors=1.05
    Advanced Placement=1.10
    Joint Enrollment=1.10
     
    This weighting is not applied to individual grades on the transcript but is applied when the cumulative average is calculated. Courses with no identifier and identified as advanced earn no weighting.
