Transferring a Student's Marks from Class to Class

GradeBook provides several options for transferring a student’s marks from the original class to the new class. The actual transfer of a student from one class or section to the other must be completed before transferring the student’s marks in GradeBook. The GradeBook administrator performs the transfer in StudentInformation, and GradeBook reflects the changes immediately.

GradeBook automatically analyzes the GradeBook setup for both classes and recommends the appropriate method of transferring the student’s marks. The “GradeBook’s Recommendations for Transferring Student Marks”  flowchart depicts the logic GradeBook follows when providing a recommendation.

GradeBook’s Recommendations for Transferring Student Marks

Based on the previous analysis, GradeBook recommends one of the following options:

•Transfer All Assignment Marks – Each individual assignment mark is transferred to the new class; you have the opportunity to verify each assignment that should be transferred before the action is completed

•Transfer Student’s Past Performance into One Assignment – The total of all the assignments is transferred into a single assignment in the new class; you have the opportunity to edit the new assignment before it is created

•Transfer Student’s Past Performance into Assignments for each Assignment
Type – A separate assignment is created for each assignment type to correctly maintain weighted averages; you have the opportunity to edit each assignment before it is created

•View Student's Progress Report – Assignment mark types or grading scales do not match; therefore, they are not compatible to transfer marks. This option produces the Student's Progress Report in a separate window. If classes use standards-based report cards, the Student Progress Report by Assessments displays.
