Viewing and Editing Grades
You can edit a student’s GPA, credits or quality points only in the current year. However,
be aware that modifications you make to these figures in the current year will affect the
student’s career credits and GPA.
Entering and Editing Information for Previous (Minus) Years
Whether in the Schedule or Transcript view, the PLUS {+} and MINUS {-} keys will
change the year you are viewing, provided you have set up the program to archive grades
in Database Plus New FilesSpecifications (See the DATABASE PLUS manual for
information on how to do this.) For example, while viewing YEAR 0, pressing the
MINUS key will display YEAR -1, which contains the previous year's transcript.
Pressing the MINUS key again will bring up a view of the student’s transcript from two
years ago, and so on. For example, a grade 12 student, YEAR -1 is the 11th grade
transcript and YEAR -2 is the 10th grade transcript, and so on. To return to the current
year’s view, simply press the PLUS key. Alternatively, you can click on the Year - and
Year + keys at the bottom of the window.
NOTE:
Entering and Editing Grades in the Minus Years
When in the Minus year view, you can enter or edit grades the same way you can in the
current (0) year view. Remember that in order to view a student’s courses and grades in
the minus year, you must run the Transfer Credits & GPA option to archive previous
years’ grades. See the “Viewing and Editing Grades” on page 6-3 for detailed
information on how to perform this function.
Note that after entering or changing a student’s grade in VCAD in the minus year, you must
update GPAs/Credits on archival years in order to update the student’s career GPA based
on the new grade. (See Chapter 8)
