Sem/Final - Award credits based on a combination of semester and final grades. If used, the Credit Seq field on Maintenance > District Schedule is also considered when you run the Grade Computation and Credit Assignment utility and the Assign Pass Fail Indicators utility. Semester - Award credits based on the semester grade. The field is also used by the Assign Pass Fail Indicators utility. |

| How will Avg be Computed |
Computer - Semester averages are automatically calculated. This option must be selected if you are using the Grade Computation and Credit Assignment or Grade Computation Elementary utility. |
| Include Exam in Semester Average |
Select to include the semester exam grade when computing the semester average. The field is used by the Grade Computation and Credit Assignment utility.
NOTE: Most elementary campuses do not use exam grades. However, for elementary campuses that want to include the exam grade in the semester average and display the Exam column in TeacherPortal, the Include Exam in Semester Average field must be selected. |
❏ If Include Exam in Semester Average is selected, indicate how much weight the exam has in the semester average:
| Exam Weight Equal |
Select if the semester exam should be weighted equally with the cycle grades when semester averages are computed. If selected, the exam grade is given the same weight as the cycle averages when calculating the semester average. For example, if there are three cycles in the semester, the student's cycle averages are 80, 85, and 90, and the student earned 100 on the semester exam, the semester average calculation is as follows: (80 + 85 + 90 + 100) / 4 If Exam Weight Equal is not selected, the Total Weight and Exam Weight fields are used together to indicate the percentage the semester exam should count toward the total semester grade. |
