OtherGPANotes

•  If GPA is not setup then transcripts won’t run. •  Multiple GPA calculations can be created and visible for use by everyone who has access to GPAs so use really good naming conventions. •  Only grades given on during Grading Periods designated as final grades apply to the cumulative GPA. •  GPAs are calculated on the fly for each transcript and report card as they are generated. Custom reports with GPA calculations can become out of date or “stale” and are refreshed only when GPA rankings are run.
