Entering Grade History

Grade history is entered in on students from the main Students view by clicking the + sign next to the student and then choosing “Grade History”.  On the grade history form, you can scroll to the bottom to see any historical grades on the student that are already entered.

To enter a new grade, select the school year of the class and then enter a comment (if necessary), the grade level when it was taken, the course, term, grade earned, and grading scale to use.  Once that data is filled in, you will see the yellow Quick Preview box update to show exactly what data will be entered. 

The grade points earned will be based on the grading scale selected.  If this is correct, click the green checkmark to add the class.  

Open

After the class is added, you can continue to enter any other classes for grade history for that student.  You will see all new classes entered under the “Courses recently added…”

All grade history will be visible on the student’s transcript as well as in Guidance…Classes by Students.

Grade History that is Dual Credit

If the class should be marked as Dual Credit check the Taken for Dual Credit box. You can then enter the Dual Credit information. All of these fields are required for sending transcripts to Parchment.
