Palmer Trinity School

{ 33 } INCOMPLETE GR ADES Incomplete grades are given when a student is unable to complete course requirements due to illness or other extenuating circumstances. Any student who receives an "I" (incomplete) on his/her grade report must complete the course requirement in a time frame not to exceed the sixth week of the following semester. After that point, an incomplete grade becomes an "F." UPPER SCHOOL INDEPENDENT STUDY Independent study is sanctioned by Palmer Trinity School as a way to respond to student initiative to seek advanced, specialized, and in some cases education in topics not ordinarily available in the School's standard curriculum. Juniors or seniors may undertake independent study. e responsibility for selecting a topic, recruiting a faculty sponsor, and devising the course of study all rests with the student. Application forms are available from the Registrar. An independent study is subject to the School's standard procedures regarding grade reporting and course withdrawals. e credit for successful completion of an independent study becomes part of the student's academic record. TR ANSCRIPT POLICY Official Palmer Trinity School transcripts will be generated by the Registrar. e transcript will contain the grades of all courses taken at Palmer Trinity School. Students are responsible for having College Board Scores (SAT & ACT) mailed to appropriate institutions. Transcripts will not be released until all financial obligations to Palmer Trinity School have been met and cleared by the Business Office. Only Palmer Trinity School courses will appear on the PTS transcript. Only PTS course grades will be averaged into the PTS GPA. PTS summer Geometry course and Online courses (Wellness, Computer Science, and Foundations of World Religions) will appear on the PTS transcript since they are PTS courses taught by PTS faculty. "SS" will appear before the course title to indicate "Summer School." Students who take a course through FLVS (or similar institution) to advance may be required to take a placement test before moving on to the next level of study. Example: If a student takes Algebra II through FLVS to move ahead, the student may be required to take a PTS placement test to help ensure success in Precalculus. All non-PTS transcripts will be attached to the PTS transcript. e course name, description, and grade will appear on a separate document. e attachment will be uploaded to SCOIR when the student applies to colleges. FINANCIAL AID Palmer Trinity offers need-based financial aid. Deadlines are posted annually on the School's website.
