Description
These specifications are set in the Inspect/Change Universal HR
Specifications window. See “Inspect/Change Universal HR
Specifications” on page 8-5 for an explanation of each of these
options. Note that Specification E: COUNT CRS WITH GPA
FACTOR OF 99 is no longer used by the program. It is now possible
to designate whether a course counts in GPAs in the View/Edit
Courses & Sections window. See “View/Edit Courses & Sections” on
page 2-3.
Because there is only room for a limited number of decimal places,
depending upon your report, this option determines if column
averages are rounded or truncated. In other words, an average of
84.67 will be rounded to an “85” or truncated to an “84”. If an “85” is
the cutoff for your honor roll, you should truncate, so that parents do
not complain when they see a grade of 85 on the report card and their
child was not on the honor roll.
This specification determines whether the heading “SCHOLARSHIP
REPORT” or “PROGRESS REPORT” will print on a report card.
