All courses taken at Vail Early College will appear on the high school transcripts of Early College students.

All Pima grades earned will be added to the high school transcripts of Vail Early College students once the grades are released to the VEC staff by Pima at the end of each semester.

GPA and Class Ranking will be calculated according to how the graduating high school calculates GPA & Class Rank. Since all Vail Early College students will still be in the Powerschool systems of their graduating high school, they will still be calculated as if they were currently at that high school. This makes for ease in pulling transcripts for college application, etc. However, each student should talk to their graduating high school for information about how their transfer credits will be treated.

Valedictorian: Each graduating high school has a policy regarding how it determines and who is eligible to be Valedictorian and Salutatorian. By being part of the Vail Early College program, students may forfeit this opportunity so it is important for a student that might be in this situation to understand the policies of their high school of graduation. The Vail Early College staff has no control over these policies.
