Cumulative Info. Current Grade Display

[RobK]

Does the Cumulative Info screen normally pull from the Current Grade Display?  We have it set to show Semester 1 Simple GPA ,Semester 2 Simple GPA and Year Simple GPA.

~(*gpa method="simple" term="S1")

~(*gpa method="simple" term="S2")

~(*gpa method="simple" term="Y1")

However I noticed all of the Simple GPA terms only show what the Current Grade Display is set at. The Current Grade Display is set for term S2.  So all the Simple GPAs (S1, S2, Y1) only the show the student current semester 2 GPA and do show it for there actual terms.  The cumulative GPAs are not affected by the Current Grade Display.

It should show different GPAs for the semester and year. I would check a few students and see if they all show the same GPA for S1, S2, Year, and Current Grade Display. If they all do then there may be an issue with your GPA Calculation Methods. I have my current grade display showing my GPA method 'Term' and my Semeters show the following

~(*gpa method="simple" term="S1")

~(*gpa method="simple" term="S2")

Here is what my GPA method 'Term' shows

Thank you for your advice.

I noticed you don't have a grade scale designated in GPA method called Term.  What are the advantages of not have a grade scale selected?

Our simple 4.0 GPA is attached to the Default grade scale because of our Unweighted GPA. Our simple GPA is weighted and we have 3 different grade scales for a weighted GPA; Honors, AP, and 6.0. All three of the grade scales are 6.0 so I don't attach a grade scale to that one.
