Updating and Resetting GPAs & Credits
Choose option #3 from the Update/Un-UpDate GPA’s & Credits window to print the
summary report of how students were last updated. See “Update/Un-update GPA's &
Credits” on page 8-27.
Note that the previous credits, quality points and weight are calculated by subtracting
the stored current credits, quality points and weight from the stored new credits, quality
points and weight.
Reset Last Update Data Only to Zero
Before an update is performed, the four LAST UPDATE figures are all zeroes. After an
update, the last credits, adjusted quality points, simple quality points and weight that the
student earned are added to his career totals. The following is an example of the eight
figures stored in a student’s report card record AFTER an update of GPAs and credits:
CAREER CREDITS : 12.50 LAST CREDITS UPDATE : 4.00
CAREER ADJUSTED QP : 1100.00 LAST ADJUSTED QP UPDATE : 400.00
CAREER WEIGHT : 15.00 LAST WEIGHT UPDATE : 5.00
CAREER SIMPLE QP : 1070.00 LAST SIMPLE QP UPDATE : 390.00
Because the program stores these LAST UPDATE figures, the update may later be
UNDONE so that it can be redone in a different way. Also, by storing these LAST
figures, Report Cards Plus is able to show how the last update was performed on both
the Detailed Update Report and on report cards. See “3) REPORT DETAIL” on
page 8-33.
When the BEGINNING program is run and students are moved up a grade, these LAST
UPDATE figures are reset to zero so that further updates may be done in the new year.
