Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Tables > Elementary > Noncore Grd Cvsn
This tab allows you to set up non-core course alpha grades with their equivalent numeric grades. The table is used to convert all grades (including exam grades) posted to non-core courses.
The application averages grades based on their numerical values, not the median value of the letter grade.
Example : E is set to be between a 90 and 100, and a student has a grade of 99. The student's grade is averaged using the numeric value of 99 instead of the median value of E (which would be 95). One option to narrow the range of numbers is to add pluses and minuses to all letter grades (e.g., set E- from 90 to 93, E from 94 to 96, and
E+ from 97 to 100).
