  2. Select ‘View your application’

  3. Click on ‘Self-Reported Grades’ in your Applicant checklist

  4. Follow the instructions below


A. Select the Subject area of the course.
  • If your course does not fall into one of these areas, select Other Subject Areas. Do not enter Physical or Health Education courses or courses completed in 8th Grade on this form.

B. Select the specific Course as indicated on your transcript.

  • If the course does not appear, select the one closest in name. You will be able to adjust this in the next field.

C. Enter the Course Title exactly as it appears on your transcript (optional).

  • If the course title differs from Course in the picklist above, please enter it here. Otherwise, you may leave this field blank

D. Select the Level of your course.

  • For regular courses, select Standard.
  • Otherwise, select the specific level (Honors/Advanced or Dual Enrolment)of the course.
  • If your course is listed as AP and Dual Enrolment, select the AP course in the picklist under Course.

E. Select the Year by grade level (e.g. 9th Grade, 10th Grade, etc.).

  • If you took a course in the summer, enter it for the grade level indicated on your transcript.

F. Indicate the Course Length.

'Final Grade' is to be used to:

  • Report one final grade for any completed course in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade. If your year-long course (e.g. Physics) was split in two semesters with a different title in each semester (e.g. Physics A and Physics B), add each semester as a separate Final Grade' course. Under the Semester/Term field, also select Final Grade'. Enter a grade for each course. You will be able to adjust the credit weight for each entry later. Note: if your courses are split into two semesters, each with their own grade, do not use this option if the course title is the same.
  • Report one final grade for any completed course in 12th grade if you have already graduated.

Notes:
If any course is only one semester long, please select either Fall or Winter only when indicating the length of your course.

G. Select the Semester/Term when the course was taken.

H. Verify that the Credits/Units match with what is displayed on your transcript

  • If the pre-populated information is incorrect, you can manually adjust it in this field. Ensure the credit weight is evenly distributed between all terms of the same course.
  • Enter the credit or units associated with each course as they appear on your transcript, making sure that the total credits are distributed evenly over each term. If no credit value is reported on your transcript, leave the credit value exactly as it appears on the form and save the course with the default credit values. Do not enter zero.

I. Select your Grade Type (letter or numeric)

J. From the picklist, select the Grade letter grade you obtained or type in the numeric grade.

  • If your 12th grade course is scheduled for a later term, enter In Progressunder “Other Grade/Status".
  • For courses that have been assessed as P or CR/NC (or similar), enter that on the form, exactly as it appears on your transcript.

  • Do not average your grades.
  • If your final grades are reported as two semester grades, enter them as they appear on your transcript.
  • Do not convert your grades into another format.
  • Do not apply any weight to your grades. If your school adds weight to the final grade itself (not in the calculation of GPA), you may need to upload a copy of your transcript instead of self-reporting. Please contact Service Point if this is the case.

6. How to provide updated 12th Grade results:

Your application will be reviewed. If mid-year/first semester results are then requested on your checklist:

  • Log back into the Self-reporting form and add mid-year/second quarter results for 12th grade.

Verification

  • All self-reported grades will eventually be verified against official grades from your school.
