Effective Term indicates the term when a specific configuration goes into effect for a given grade. The term "0000.0" should be used to indicate the earliest term possible. A record remains in effect until another record with a later term for the same grade code is present. Codes marked Available can be entered on forms. QP (Quality Points) assigns the point value for the grade used during computation of GPA. Grade codes with GPA checked are used when calculating GPA; this only affects the calculated GPA hours, quality points, and GPA. Other calculations related to the GPA (earned hours, etc.) are not affected by the GPA indicator. The four checkboxes for EA (earned), AT (attempted), EN (enrolled), and CO (completed) determine whether the credit hours for each section with this grade are included in each total. The intended interpretation of these is: Attempted - Graded (A-F) courses enrolled in Earned - Graded (A-F) courses passed Enrolled - All courses enrolled in Completed - All courses passed Repeat checking impacts how credits are tabulated in academic history. A repeated section (taken again and receiving a better grade) is not used when tabulating a term's earned hours, and not used for cumulative GPA values of earned hours, completed hours, GPA hours, quality points, and GPA. |
