Earn College Credits in High School

St. Mary’s students grades 11 and 12 can earn college credits in courses taught at St. Mary’s, Storm Lake Community School or online. Students may have to take placement tests to apply for college level courses. Contact our Guidance Department or Principal Ryan Berg with any specific questions regarding college credit courses.

Grading Concurrent College Courses:
Concurrent college credit courses will be given a weighted grade scale of .5 on the 4.0 scale. If the course is taught at SLHS, online or on ICCC’s campus the grade will be posted on student transcripts the same as it is posted from the credit-awarding school’s transcript.

1. If the concurrent credit class is taught at St. Mary’s, they will award “+” and “-“ grades on high school transcripts. A straight letter grade will be posted on the ICCC transcript.

2. If the college course is taught at SLHS, through or at ICCC, the grade will be posted on school transcripts based on what is reported from that school.
