Credits even if it exists as one of the report card columns.
Regent’s column will be used for updating GPAs and
Credits.
Regent’s column will be used in updating credits but not for
updating the GPA.
Credit will be awarded only if the student has a passing
grade in BOTH the Final and the Regent’s columns. (A
passing grade is any grade that has a ‘Y’ in the Credit
column in the Grade Table.) The higher of the two grades
will still prevail in updating the GPA.
If you set this specification to “YES” or “YES, BUT
FOR CREDITS ONLY”, if one of the two columns is
blank, the grade in the other column will be used in
updating.
SPECIFICATION #5
ADJUSTED GPA’S
USE SEPARATE WEIGHTS FOR SIMPLE AND
The newest version of Administrator’s Plus allows you to use different weights for the
simple GPA than you use for the adjusted GPA. By using separate weights, you will be
able to have some courses count in one GPA, simple or adjusted, and not in the other.
Use Enter CoursesView/Edit Courses & Sections to specify which courses count
for which GPA. See “Master Course Fields (Fields found on the View/Edit Courses and
Sections Window)” on page 2-4. Note that until you change the setting in View/Edit
Courses & Sections, courses that currently count for the simple GPA will count for
BOTH the simple and adjusted GPA. Courses that now do not count for the simple GPA
will NOT count for the adjusted GPA.
