What is the merit roll

At the end of each semester, a student’s grade point average (GPA) is used to determine the Merit Roll. Half-credit courses are counted at half value. Students with “incomplete” on their report cards are not listed until a grade is assigned. To be on the Merit Roll a student must have a rounded GPA that is 3.3 or more, and less than 3.6, for the semester. This is published on individual student transcripts. See also: Honor Roll.
