Grade promotion is based on earning credits. 

Scholars earn credits by passing classes with a 60% grade or higher. 

Each class is worth 1/2 credit per semester.  (1/2 credit x 8 classes = 4 credits per semester)  Scholars have the opportunity to earn 8 credits each year since they can take 8 classes per year.  (4 credits 1st semester + 4 credits 2nd semester = 8 credits)
