Filling Out Manual Grade Entry Forms
SITUATION #3 SAMPLE ENTRY (Bold entries are newly entered)
NAME GR # 1st 2nd MEX MID 3rd 4th FEX FNL ABS C1 C2
Doe; Jon 12 43 A- 1 2
SITUATION #4:
• The End of the 1st Marking Period
• QUARTER 1 Course
• Students Have Been Entered Into the Section
This situation is similar to Situation #3. The only difference is that this is only a
QUARTER course.
Fill out the form in the same manner as in situation #3 except that a final grade must be
placed into the “final” grade column unless you are going to use the CALCULATE
AVERAGES program to calculate your midyear and final averages. See Chapter 5 for
more information.
If you intend to update credits and GPA information based on your midyear grades,
make sure that this “final” grade is also in the “midyear” grade column, especially for
seniors, since you might want to update their GPA data half-way through their senior
year. If there were a “final” exam in this course, that grade would be placed in either the
“midyear exam” or “final exam” column. If the program is going to calculate your
midyear averages, place any exam grade in the midyear exam column.
SITUATION #4 SAMPLE ENTRY (Bold entries are newly entered)
NAME GR # 1st 2nd MEX MID 3rd 4th FEX FNL ABS C1 C2
Doe; Jon 12 43 A- B+ A- A- 2 1 2
NOTE:
This sample entry assumes that the program is NOT going to calculate midyear averages
and that you are going to update career credits and GPAs using the midyear grade.
Therefore, the final grade has been entered into both the “midyear” and “final” columns.
If you only put the “final” grade for this quarter course into the “midyear” grade column,
the program will automatically copy this grade to the final grade column when you
update students' career credits and GPAs at the end of the year. It will copy this grade
only if it does not find any grades after the midyear grade and only if you are doing a
complete update with the final grade column being the only column worth credit. For
more information, see Chapter 8, Update GPAs & Credits on page “Updating and
Resetting GPAs & Credits” on page 8-37.
