Marcelo Actually, your suggestion might be the reason why the grades aren't included in the average. It appears to be classes taken by a high school student at a university. So perhaps the credits are counted for one of the schools but not the other.
Marcelo González Jun 21, 2015:
@MollyRose If the "materias acreditables no se promedian," it might be fair to say they're probably not advanced courses. After all, why would advanced courses not be factored into the GPA? Unless, of course, these advanced courses are (1) transferred-in from another college, or (2) not required for one's area of specialization (in which case, basic courses would also be included). In short, I'd consider contacting the college for some much-needed clarification. // Yeah, a Lobo---doing a bit of additional work there, post-master's---small world :-)
Darius Saczuk Jun 21, 2015:
This might well be the case in your situation - PE, Writing Workshop normally are not included in the GPA. Each school has its own policy with respect to calculating GPA.
Darius Saczuk Jun 21, 2015:
In my college, some courses (ESL, remedial) are not included in the GPA calculation.
Darius Saczuk Jun 21, 2015:
Since they are basic credit (bearing) courses, it might be the case they have no effect on GPA. Quite often, only core courses are included in the GPA calculation.
MollyRose (asker) Jun 21, 2015:
Thanks Dariusz! Are you SURE? It doesn't make sense that what seem like basic courses wouldn't be included in the GPA.

I understand that a person is allowed to enter more than one answer for a term. If you or someone posts an answer (hopefully correct) for the whole sentence, I will be able at that time to change the source to the whole sentence when I award points. If I can be convinced of the answer.

I appreciate all the help!
Darius Saczuk Jun 21, 2015:
Are not included in the GPA calculation, have no effect on GPA...
MollyRose (asker) Jun 21, 2015:
OK, but ... What about my question about the Whole Sentence? Las materias acreditables NO se promedian.

The courses for which credits have been earned are NOT averaged? At first I thought they weren't counted in the average, and that's why I put this term for the question.

And saludos to a former Lobo, too! What a surprise, Marcelo!
Marcelo González Jun 21, 2015:
My pleasure, Molly Glad to lend a hand --- as a former Lobo, who took a course or two, to an alumna like yourself. Cheers from the Marianas (via ABQ) :-)
MollyRose (asker) Jun 20, 2015:
Thanks, Marcelo, for seeing my question The transcript has a list of courses for first semester (the ones I included), a list for second semester, etc. through 6th semester. The student only had grades for the first semester. It doesn't say these courses were materias acreditables. It just has the stuff printed below all the list of courses for all the semesters. And I see no evidence that they're transferred to or from another school; it only has the name of one school at the top of the letterhead. I wish I could edit the ProZ term to include the whole sentence.
Marcelo González Jun 19, 2015:
@MollyRose So, just to be sure, the courses you've included in Discussion are those that appear under "Materias Acreditables"? Is there any evidence that these "materias acreditables" could have been taken at another institution (i.e., "transfer credit")?
MollyRose (asker) Jun 19, 2015:
in case it helps These are the courses for the first semester. Other semesters include other stuff, including prep for workplace.

Math I
Adolescent and Biological Development
Chemistry I
History I
Psychology
Reading and Writing Workshop I
Computer Science I
Physical Education
MollyRose (asker) Jun 19, 2015:
A large portion is missing! I had put a lot of info in my question, but it cut off a lot! And maybe I should have put the whole sentence in the term instead of only this. I just closed all my programs, so I have to open them again to copy. Here goes again, at least part of what I had included.

It's at the very bottom, after listing 6 semesters worth of courses, some with 8 and others with 9 courses. I had included the Spanish, but this time I'm just copying and pasting the translation:
Total courses passed: 8 Total curriculum courses: 50 Percent Passed: 16 << Only curriculum-approved courses
Total courses failed: 0 General average: 9 << Las materias acreditables NO se promedian.

The courses for which credits have been earned are NOT averaged? At first I thought they weren't counted in the average, and that's why I put this term for the question.

creditable courses

Meaning a course for which credit can be given. It would be helpful to know exactly where on the transcript the term in question appears. This is unclear to me from your question.
Example sentence:

The undergraduate credit hours counted for this requirement include all regular session degree creditable courses taken at any institution, including repeated courses, failed courses, and courses dropped after the official census date (normally the last d
