Honor Rolls<br />

The Universal Honor Roll Specifications determine how all honor rolls, as well as<br />

column averages, will be calculated, including how courses will be weighted and<br />

courses meet no more than one period each day, this setting will have the same effect as<br />

period each day to count more than courses meeting only one period per day.<br />

Option #2, USE WEIGHT NOT PRO-RATED should not be used because it also causes<br />

courses meeting all year to count more than courses meeting one semester, which you<br />

If you choose to use weight, either pro-rated or not, courses will be weighted according<br />

to the weights in the master course list.<br />

courses meeting one period per day. Pro-rating of weight will occur only if you are doing<br />
