High School Honors Courses
High school honors courses are offered in a 4.5 GPA scale instead of the standard 4.0 GPA scale. This ensures that student GPAs accurately reflect the difficulty of courses taken. To calculate the GPA of letter grades in high school honors courses, simply add 0.5 to the GPA value.

- The transfer credit must meet the academic standards of Williamsburg
- The transfer credit will be evaluated as to whether or not it satisfies one of Williamsburg’s graduation requirements. If not, it will be listed as an elective credit
- Transcripts from other schools should be sent to the Registrar’s office via email, fax, or postal mail
