Transfer students receive credit only for those courses they have passed which are evaluated as comparable to those at ETHS. Transfer courses are listed on transcripts by subject area rather than by specific title, and a P for "passed" or F for "failed" replaces a grade.
Class rank is based on grade-point average, which is determined by averaging the numerical values of all semester marks for all ETHS courses carrying at least one credit, except physical education.
