SCANNING LETTER GRADES
Entry Forms
Filling Out Scanner Grade Entry Forms
The parts of the form containing the period grade, exam grade, final grade and optional
grade are identical. They appear as follows:
• If the letters A - F are bubbled, then either a “+” or “-” may also be bubbled. If two
or more of the letters A - F are bubbled or if both the “+” and “-” are bubbled, an error
will result.
• If nothing on the top row is bubbled, one of the items on the bottom row may be
bubbled. The bottom row consists of the grades P through X. Filling in two or more
bubbles on the bottom row results in an error.
• The bottom row will not even be looked at if there are one or more bubbles on the top
row.
• If there is an error, an error message will be sent to the printer as the form is scanned
and no grade will be entered into the affected students' transcript for that category.
Any prior grade in the transcript for the category will remain. An error in one
category, such as the PERIOD GRADE, will not affect the other categories if they are
properly bubbled.
• Giving the student any of the “withdrawn” grades will only put that grade in their
transcript; the student will not be withdrawn from the course/section. To officially
withdraw a student from a section and remove them from the section roster, the
View/Change/Add/Drop program must be used. See “Withdrawing Student from
Course/Section” on page 6-5.
The part of the form containing the comment bubbles looks like:
• Fill in one bubble in the top row and one bubble in the bottom row. Having more than
one bubble marked in a row will result in an error. Do not bubble in a zero in each
row for comment “00” since it does not exist. If you do, the comment number will
be read as “100”. Although comment “4” should be entered as “04”, if the program
finds one row blank, the comment will become the value bubbled in the other row.
For example, if the top row has the “4” bubbled and the bottom row is blank, the
comment will be #4. Similarly, if the top row is blank and the bottom row has the “4”
bubbled, the comment will also be #4.
