Grade Averaging Table

Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Tables > Grade Reporting Tables > Grade Averaging Table

This tab allows you to set up adjustments that are made to grades when the system computes grade point averages to determine class rank.

Update data:

❏ Select the table type:

Table Type	Select the code for the type of courses to which the table applies. The codes are established on Maintenance > Tables > Course Type.

Existing data is displayed.

The list can be re-sorted.

You can re-sort the grid by clicking on an underlined column heading. It will sort in ascending order. Click it again to sort in descending order.

A triangle next to the column heading indicates the column by which the grid is currently sorted and whether it is sorted in ascending or descending order.
If there are multiple pages, page through the list.

Click to go to the first page of the report or list.
Click to go back one page.
Click to go forward one page.
Click to go to the last page.
Click to select the page number you want to view in the report or list.

❏ Click +Add to add one blank row. A blank row is added to the grid.
❏ Or, click +Add 10 to add ten blank rows to the grid.

❏ Under Grade:

Type the numeric course grade to be adjusted.

IMPORTANT:
You must enter every numeric grade from the high grade to the lowest grade for the table type. If a gap exists, the student’s grade will be calculated as zero if it corresponds to the missing grade.

If the Highest Cycle Grade Allowed field on Maintenance > Tables > Campus Control Options > Ranges & Conversions is set to a value higher than 100, this table must include grades up to the highest grade allowed. Otherwise, a student’s grade will be calculated as zero if it is not included in the table.

❏ Under Points:

Type either the grade points or numeric grades that correspond to the course grade when determining grade averaging. Enter up to five digits with three whole numbers and two decimal places (e.g., 100.00).

You can use either all grade points or all modified grades, but not a mixture of both.

Examples:

Grade Points		Numeric Grades
Course Grade	Numeric Points	Course Grade	Grade Points
100	5.00	100	105
099	4.90	099	104
098	4.80	098	103
097	4.70	097	102
and so on		and so on

You can adjust each grade by a different amount.

Example:

You could add 10 points for grades 90-100, but only add 7 points for grades 80-89, as follows:

Course Grade	Points	Adjusted Grade
100	10.00	110
99	10.00	109
98	10.00	108
97	10.00	107
96	10.00	106
95	10.00	105
94	10.00	104
93	10.00	103
92	10.00	102
91	10.00	101
90	10.00	100
89	7.00	96
88	7.00	95
and so on

NOTE: If using numeric values, when you run the Grade Averaging and Class Ranking utility, you must set Process to Grade Point Grade Averaging in order to use the Grade Average tables that were set up for this purpose.
