Advisement and BRIDGE Law Information
BRIDGE Law Mandated Advisement Legislation
Law regarding advisement that began during the 10-11 school year.
This law mandates that certain tasks be completed on GACollege411 to support all students career planning and decision making.
Students must have a GACollege411 account (My411), complete career interest inventories, complete their graduation plan, explore 3 careers, and be provided with information about College Credit Now/Dual Enrollment.
Promotion to Grade 11
In order to be promoted to the 11th grade, your student must have earned 11 credits.
HOPE GPA Please remember that a HOPE gpa is
calculated on a 4.0 scale, and the focus is on academic courses completed.
Non-academic elective courses do not count.
Thus, a numeric GPA of 83.4%, does not necessarily mean that the HOPE gpa will be 3.0 or higher.
Currently, your student can monitor his/her HOPE gpa via your GACollege411 account.
