Final Evaluations and Recommendation for School Credit In late August, ATDP mails each student the instructor's final evaluation of class performance, including final course grade. Students can earn grades of A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, Pass, or No Pass. If a student earns a grade in the A or B range, upon the student's written authorization, ATDP will send the final evaluation report to the student's school with a recommendation that that institution grant him or her additional school credit (not university credit). As ATDP does not recommend credit for grades of Pass and Not Pass, the final evaluations for such grades are only for the student and are not sent to schools. ATDP can recommend that a student receive credit for grades in the A and B range, but only the student's school can actually grant credit. In the past, over 95% of the high schools represented in our student body accepted our credit recommendation. A course covering a semester's worth of material will receive a credit recommendation of 5 units of credit, and one covering a year's worth of material will receive a recommendation of 10 units. The number of units ATDP recommends for a particular class is listed with each course's description. We remind you that ATDP recommends credit, but the school grants credit. Only courses that have been placed by the high school on the student's high school transcript can be used to meet college entrance requirements. We recommend that high schools place courses in the college-prep categories listed in these pages: ATDP Courses and UC a-g Requirements. Additionally, it is important to note that because of ATDP's stringent admission requirements and the rigorous, advanced curricula of all of the courses--many being taught at the college level, using texts and materials used in regular UC courses--when appropriate, and in keeping with the school's own and UC's guidelines, ATDP courses can be considered for "honors level" credit. The advanced placement courses are identified as such in their titles and should also carry appropriate credit. Link here to University of California A to G Requirements.
