Update/Un-update GPA's & Credits<br />

Specification<br />

Description<br />

WARNING: Do NOT update GPAs and credits on archival years if<br />

you:<br />

• Changed any course information in the master course file, such<br />

as weight, credits and GPA factors since that student’s GPA and<br />

credits were originally calculated<br />

• <strong>Manual</strong>ly adjusted the student’s GPA information in<br />

View/Change/Add/Drop in one of the archival years being<br />

updated<br />

• Made any changes to the grade table in a previous year that<br />

would affect the student’s GPA and/or credits<br />

If any of these situations apply, it is recommended that you do<br />

NOT update based on archival data, because the newly<br />

calculated GPA may not match the old one. Instead, you should<br />

update the student’s GPA and credits in the previous year and<br />

use the Transfer Credits & GPA program to transfer the archival<br />

data to the current year. Then update in the current year to bring<br />

the GPA and credits up to date.<br />

3) REPORT<br />

DETAIL<br />

You can choose to generate either a Summary or a Detailed Update<br />

<strong>Report</strong>. The report will print to the window and you can then choose<br />

to escape from the preview or press F9: PRINT to print the report to<br />

paper. The Detailed Update <strong>Report</strong> is very useful when you want to<br />

analyze one student’s GPA and credit calculation on a course by<br />

course basis. When updating all students in one or more grade<br />

levels, it is generally recommended that you keep this specification<br />

set to “Summary <strong>Report</strong>”, especially if you intend to print a hard copy<br />

of the report, as the detailed report tends to be quite lengthy.<br />

The percents entered into specifications #4 - #7 are used only if<br />

specification #1 has been set to update based on one designated<br />

column. When updating based on ALL CREDIT COLUMNS, you can<br />

ignore these specifications.<br />
