Description
A drop-down list will appear allowing you to select what type of column
you are using. A column should only be called a FINAL type column if
it will contain a grade that will be the average for the entire course.
Many schools will have a first semester grade column and a second
semester grade column without any final grade column. The OTHER
classification should be used for a column for which the grades should
be excluded from average and GPA calculations.
NOTE: The column used to store the Regent's grade in New York
should be defined as an OTHER type column.
A classification as an ABSENCE column will allow any number from 0
to 99 to be placed in the column. This holds true even if you are using
letter grades. In the default table that uses four marking periods, you
might want to make column 11 an ABSENCE column. If you are using
the Period Attendance module, you may have the absences in each
class automatically print in this column. If you have two columns
available, you may have an absent column and a tardy column. Both
would be set as column type ABSENT.
Columns #12 and #13 are automatically classified as COMMENT
columns and their type cannot be changed.
NOTE: The program will place a “W” in the right-most FINAL or
appropriate SEMESTER column if a student withdraws.
