    Notes;

    • You might want to mass update the Include in GPA field for all courses and then deselect this checkbox for the few courses you do not want to include.
    • If the district preference for schedule shows the GPA inclusion indicator is School, then do this in the School view, Schedule tab, Courses side-tab on the School Courses table.

For rank:

  1. Go to the District, Intermediate Organization or School view.
  2. Click the Student tab.
  3. Find and select the name of the student who has no GPA or rank. The details page appears.
  4. On the Demographics sub-tab, make sure that the student's Include in rank checkbox is selected.
    Note: If there are only a few students that you want to exclude, mass update the Include in rank field to Y and then exclude the necessary students.

    Note: If an individual student's Include in rank checkbox is not selected, and you select to Rank all students, that student and all others will be ranked.

If the point value of a course is wrong or missing:

  1. Go to the District or Intermediate Organization view.
  2. Select Grades > GPA.
  3. Select the GPA checkbox for the GPA definition you want to check.
  4. On the side-tab, click Details.
  5. Check the Course weight type:
    • If it is Course Weight, all GPA courses must have weight.
    • If it is Credit, all courses must have credit.
  1. Check the district course catalog for these items. However, if the district schedule preference for Credit or Weight is set to School, update the school course (School view, Schedule tab, Courses side-tab).

Other things to check:

  • GPA definition
  • Grade columns
    Note: Always check School view, Student > Transcript > Grade Point Summary. This will help you identify if the correct classes are even being counted towards the GPA/rank. It will also help identify where the problem lies. For example, if there do not seem to be enough classes listed, you will want to check the grade columns on the GPA Definition or make sure that the course has a schedule term and the appropriate grade. If the points or weight is ‘0’ or ‘blank’, it most likely means that the course does not have an assigned ‘academic level’.
