You can recalculate grade averaging data if the student had a change to a semester grade, final grade, course credit, or GPA override grade in a prior school year. Recalculation only occurs if the student has a grade average for the school year being recalculated. This process follows the same process used for the Historical Grade Averaging and Class Ranking utility. Rank is not updated.

Numeric Avg

Select to recalculate using numeric grade averaging (i.e., Maintenance > Tables > Grade Reporting Tables > Num Grade Avg Operator/Value).

Grade Pt Avg

Select to recalculate using grade point grade averaging (i.e., Maintenance > Tables > Grade Reporting Tables > Grade Averaging Table).

You can recalculate using both numeric and grade point averaging.

The following fields only apply to prior year transfer courses taken outside of the district. Courses taken in the district will use the Campus Control Options from the appropriate school year.

Semester
Final

Select whether to recalculate the semester or final average. Semester is the default. Be sure to change this field if final grades are used in grade average calculations.

4 Point Avg

If using four-point average, select the code indicating how you want to calculate the average.

Recalc Only Credits

Select to recalculate credits only. The student's grade average is not recalculated.

Recalc Grd Avg

❏ Click Recalc Grd Avg to perform the grade average recalculation.

NOTE:

• Whether or not you click Save, the recalculated grade average is saved.

• Since you can change both in-district and out-of district courses on the Cumulative Courses tab, the Recalc Grd Avg on the Cumulative Courses tab has both the functionality of the Historical Grade Averaging and Class Ranking utility, and the Recalc button on the Prior Yr Transfer tab, so it is not necessary to go to a different tab to recalculate the prior yr transfer courses that you updated on the Cumulative Courses tab.

• For a prior year transfer course taken outside the district, the average is only recalculated if the student was not enrolled in any courses within the district for that school year.

• For courses taken in the district but entered on the Prior Year Transfer tab (such as a summer school course), the district ID and campus ID must be the same as the current district and campus, and the local course number must be a valid number that can be matched to a course in the district master schedule for that school year, in order for the course to be included in averaging calculations.

The following buttons are enabled.

Print Recalc

The button is only enabled if recalculation was successful. Click to view the report which displays the average(s) resulting from the recalculation. If recalculation was not successful, view the error report.

Review, save, and/or print the reports.

Print Errors

If errors are encountered, the button is enabled. Click to view the error report and determine if recalculations were performed. Some errors will prevent recalculation from occurring.

NOTE: The second error message in the example above can be expected, because the student’s class rank was not recalculated; therefore his previous rank is no longer applicable.

Review, save, and/or print the reports.

Click Save.
