What Type of Classes do Technical Classes Count As?
Answered

I am currently a junior going to a technical-vocational school and was wondering what my grades in my shop/technical "classes" will be classified as when trying to figure out GPA. I've essentially had 95+ unweighted in my shop throughout my 3 years at the school. Would these just be counted as regular classes, honors, college courses, or something else? The classes are all mechanical engineering and architecture as I'm in Drafting and Design, for the most part being things that are all taught in college.

How your shop classes are counted is entirely up to your school. I recommend talking to your school's guidance counselor about this, since they will have accurate information about your school's policies. Colleges will count your shop classes the same way that your school does. Hope this helps!
