Does anyone know how to suppress a current semester on the transcript if grades have been calculated to show on a report card? We are past our mid term and needed those grades for report cards, but now the grades are on the transcript for second semester and calculating in the GPA. I need an “in progress” transcript.

Our grade plans are set up on year-long courses, not as semester courses. However, credit is awarded at each semester. This is my second year on Blackbaud. We are a 9-12 school. Any advice?

    We have set up two transcripts, one that will calculate the GPA quarterly and one that only calculates GPA for the year.

    Dear Bill,

    Can you share how you did that? Did it require a different set up for a grade plan? I would appreciate any pointers to the right route. Thanks!

    Background: We are a year based credit school using a quarterly grading system. We have multiple transcripts one is for the end of the year and one based on quarters (for a student who requires a transcript during the school year).

    To accomplish this I have setup two calculations Cumulative GPA (Grade plans: Q1 and Q3 are blank, Q2 and Q4 are Final grades) and Yearly GPA (Grade plans: Q1 - Q4 are based on the quarterly grade).

    Yearly transcript has a single grade plan grade based on the final grade. The credits grade plan include Q1, Q2, Sem1, Q3, Q4, Sem 2, Final. The yearly average uses the cumulative average calculation with type: YTD. The yearly GPA uses the yearly GPA calculation with type YTD. The cumulative GPA uses the cumulative GPA with type: cumulative calculation

    Quarterly transcript has three grade plan grades: Sem 1, Sem 2, and final. The credits grade plan include Q1 - Q4 and final. The yearly average uses the cumulative average calculation with type: YTD. The yearly GPA uses cumulative calculation with type: YTD. The cumulative GPA uses the cumulative calculation with type: cumulative.

    I hope that this may be of some value to you.
