How We Calculate Omnibus for Transcripts
The Omnibus is not a term understood by colleges on transcripts.
Consequently, we have developed course language that colleges understand and accept.
The chart below provides the names we recommend if a student has taken both the Primary and Secondary courses in a 12-month period.
| HISTORY | RELIGION | ENGLISH | |
| Omnibus I | World Ancient History I | Doctrine & Theology I | World Ancient Literature I |
| Omnibus II | World Medieval History I | Doctrine and Theology II | World Medieval Literature I |
| Omnibus III | U.S., British & Modern History I | Doctrine & Theology III | U.S., British & Modern Literature I |
| Omnibus IV | World Ancient History II | Doctrine & Theology IV | World Ancient Literature II |
| Omnibus V | World Medieval History II | Doctrine and Theology V | World Medieval Literature II |
| Omnibus VI | U.S., British & Modern History II | Doctrine & Theology VI | U.S., British & Modern Literature II |
Calculating a Combined Grade:
Students are required to take both Primary and Secondary of the same Omnibus level within the same 12-month period
in order to receive three credits. Primary courses are weighted 60% and Secondary courses 40% for a final combined grade
using the formula below. This grade is applied to each course credit.
(Primary course grade x 0.6) + (Secondary course grade x 0.4)
Students who complete either a Primary or a Secondary Omnibus course, but not both, within 12 months, should be given one credit.
The following chart provides the recommended course names for transcripts.

| Omnibus I Primary only | Great Books of the Ancient World I |
| Omnibus II Primary only | Great Books of the Medieval World I |
