How grading works at Horry-Georgetown Technical College
Horry-Georgetown Technical College uses a letter-grade system on a 0.00–4.00 scale. Per Procedure 8.1.4.1 ("Grading System"), the only grades and numerical values used in the calculation of GPA are A (4 grade points), B (3), C (2), D (1), and F (0).
Several other notations appear on HGTC transcripts but carry no grade points and are not factored into your GPA: W (Withdrawal), I (Incomplete), E, TR, AU (Audit), NC, NR, S, SC, and U.
The college's academic catalog separately publishes a "standardized, recommended" percentage-to-letter table for reference, but describes it as recommended rather than binding, and states that a different grading scale may exist in some academic programs.

Does Horry-Georgetown Technical College use a different grading scale for Nursing courses?
Yes, for the theory component of NUR-prefixed nursing courses. The Nursing Student Handbook states: "Because competency in nursing theory is a critical component for safe nursing practice, the grading scale for nursing is higher than for some other courses," and publishes its own percentage bands: 90–100 = A, 80–89 = B, 77–79 = C, 69–76 = D, and below 69 = F. The C, D, and F cut points are higher than the college-wide catalog's general reference scale. This programmatic variance applies within the Nursing program and does not change the college-wide letter/grade-point scale (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0) used to calculate your overall GPA on this page.
