Link GPAs to courses in the School view

After you create a GPA grade point average in the District or Intermediate Organization view, you need to link the appropriate GPA to the appropriate courses in a school.

To link a GPA to courses in a school:

1. Log on to the School view.
2. Select Grades > GPA side-tab. A list of GPA definitions the district or intermediate organization created appears.

   Note: Reference the value in the Course Member Type column. If the value is Exclude, you need to select the courses you want to exclude from this GPA. If the value is Include, you need to select the courses you want to include in this GPA. If the value is Course GPA Indicator, the system references the value in the Include in GPA field for the courses. This is determined in the District or Intermediate Organization view when you create the GPA definition.

3. Select the checkbox next to a GPA definition, and click Courses on the GPA side-tab.
4. Select Options > Add. A pop-up appears.

5. 

5. Select the Course Catalog you want to use.

   Note: For the system to calculate GPAs correctly, you must link courses from past year course catalogs to GPAs, too. For example, assume your school does not include physical education classes in GPA calculations. If you are calculating GPAs for the senior class, you need to make sure that the system does not include physical education classes from their freshmen year in the GPA calculation.

6. Select the School level you want to choose from.
7. Select the checkboxes next to each course you want to include or exclude from GPA.
8. Click OK.

Now, you can define any per-student value adjustments, if necessary. Then, run the Grade Point Averages report.
