Entry Forms
Filling Out Manual Grade Entry Forms
The data entry form in the appendix is being used. This form contains students' grades
as they were input at the end of the 1st marking period.
Enter the 2nd marking period grade into the column labeled 2nd. Optionally, one or two
comment codes may be entered in the C1 and C2 columns. Also, a midyear exam grade
may be entered into the “midyear exam” column and a “midyear” average grade may be
entered into the “midyear” column. This midyear grade is really a 1st semester grade; in
other words, it is the average of the 1st and 2nd quarter grades.
You may choose to leave the “midyear” grade column blank and let the program
calculate your midyear averages with the Calculate Averages program. See Chapter 5.

NOTE:
SITUATION #6:
• The End of the 2nd Marking Period.
• Semester 1 Course.
• Students Have Been Entered Into the Section.
Follow the situation #5 instructions except that you must enter a final grade for the
course unless you are having the program calculate it. If you are going to update your
students' career credits and GPAs based on their midyear grades, you must also enter a
midyear grade for the course unless you are going to have the program calculate it.
Also enter any exam grades into the appropriate exam columns. If the program is going
to calculate the midyear average, the exam grade must be placed into the midyear exam
column.
If you do not give a course a grade in a credit column either manually or through Calculate
Averages, credits will NOT be awarded, and the course will NOT count toward students'
GPAs. -See Chapter 5 for more information.
