NEXT/PREV ORDER
Set this specification to “By Record” to bring up the next student numerically when you
press F5: NEXT in the VCAD window or set it to “Alphabetically” to bring up the next
student alphabetically when you press F5: NEXT.
Withdrawing Student from Course/Section
Students can be withdrawn from courses/sections in the Transcript View, as well as in
the Schedule View. The same options for withdrawing are available when you press F8:
WTH in either window. See the SCHEDULING PLUS manual for a detailed
explanation of each option.
• If you manually enter a “W” into the final grade column of a student's transcript either
in the Transcript View of this program or in the Enter Grades program, that student
will NOT automatically be dropped from the roster. Consequently, the student will
still be included in class size counts and on data entry forms. You must use the F8:
WTH option to remove a student from a course section roster.
• The option to remove all of a student’s courses from the transcript (Shift + F8) is
available in the Schedule View, but NOT in the Transcript View. The same is true of
the option to Withdraw the student from all his/her courses but leave them in the
transcript (Control + F8) Refer to the SCHEDULING PLUS manual for more
information on how to use these options.
• To add a course/section to a student’s schedule in the Transcript View, type the letter
“A” for “ADD” followed by a number, a slash and a section number in the ENTER
ID # OR NAME field. For example, type “A121/1” and press ENTER to enter the
student into section #1 of course #121. Use a section number of 0 to enter a student
into a study hall. For example, type “A121/0” to enter the student into study hall
#121. Type the letter “A” followed by the course number to add a course request. For
example, type “A121” and press ENTER to enter course #121 as a course request.
Do not leave any spaces.
Editing the OVR Column
The OVR (override) column allows you to specify that a student is taking a course for
less than full credit and/or less than full GPA value. With the cursor in this column, click
the F6: LOOKUP key to display a list of valid entries. For example, if a student is
auditing a course, you might choose the code “1” to indicate that the student should
receive no credit and that the course should not count towards the career GPA. Code of
“2” indicates that the student should receive HALF of the possible total credit and that
the course should count for HALF of what it normally does toward the GPA calculation.
The OVR column is available in both the current (0) year and the minus year views.
Printing the Transcript View (F9: PRINT)
Press or click F9: PRINT to obtain a printed copy of the Transcript View showing the
student’s courses/sections and grades. This option can be used in both the current (0)
year and in the minus year views.
