How To Perform a Third Quarter Update<br />

The third quarter update is typically performed by schools seeking to determine<br />

eligibility such as for National Honor Society based on the cumulative GPA as of the<br />

third quarter. There are two methods of performing a third quarter update. The method<br />

you choose depends on whether you need to permanently store the third quarter update<br />

data or are simply seeking to temporarily update GPA’s and credits for purposes of<br />

gathering data, as described above.<br />

The Permanent Third Quarter Update<br />

If you wish to permanently store the data acquired from the third quarter update, use the<br />

Calculate Averages program to calculate the average of the first 3 quarters into the final<br />

grade column. Remember to set Calculate Averages Specification #1: REPLACE<br />

EXISTING GRADES to “No” so that you do not overwrite any grades that may already<br />

exist in the final grade column. Then perform an update with specifications set as<br />

follows<br />

UPDATE BASED ON WHICH COLUMNS<br />

FINAL GRADE<br />

WHICH YEARS CURRENT YEAR: YEAR 0<br />

REPORT DETAIL<br />

SUMMARY REPORT<br />

PERCENT TO WEIGHT FULL YEAR COURSES 75%<br />

PERCENT TO WEIGHT SEM 1 COURSES 100%<br />

PERCENT TO WEIGHT SEM 2 COURSES 50%<br />

PERCENT TO WEIGHT QTR COURSES 100%<br />

THIRD QUARTER UPDATE<br />

NO<br />

NOTE:<br />

Unlike the temporary third quarter update, the permanent third quarter update can be<br />

repeated without losing data.<br />

After updating for all grades, return to Calculate Averages and use the option Blank<br />

<strong>Report</strong> Card Columns to blank the final grade column for ALL YEAR SECTIONS<br />

ONLY (Set Specification #3: INCLUDE WHICH SECTIONS) in order to free the<br />

final column for grades at the end of the year. Use the Blank <strong>Report</strong> Card Columns to<br />

blank the final grade column for any other groups of sections (such as Semester 2<br />

sections) if necessary.<br />
