Description and Pictures

STEP 1: Add GPA

The initial step required before courses can be integrated into your school is to establish a GPA. GPA can be set up within the School Profile section by navigating to School Profile > GPA.

Note: If the Grade Point Average (GPA) is not included in the School Profile, users will need to enable GPA permissions from the School Profile > Security section. This can be done by navigating to Security and locating GPA under the Organization tab. Please ensure to check this option within the designated Group that is responsible for setting the GPA.

Schools will need to incorporate GPA into their system. When navigating to the School Profile section and selecting GPA, utilize the yellow plus sign to "Add New Scale." The next step involves naming the GPA scale (Standard, High School, AP, etc.) and selecting the Type (Letter or Number). It is recommended that the school opts for the Number type. Use Add Row to add rows to the GPA scale. When done use the Save button.

Schools can have more than one GPA scale if they have AP or Honors.

GPA = Weighted GPA

UGPA = Unweighted GPA
