We are trying to calculate cumulative GPA (or any GPA) to appear on transcript; this is our first year on BB and we imported historical grades as transfer courses which appear successfully on the transcript.

In Grading Setup > Calculation > Add grade average calculation, set up the following as well as tying each term to the grade plan in 3. Grade plans + check Include transfer grades :

41ebcac72b52f842d2f8167f4cf14d2d-huge-im
f9460b463d98338e31fa7870585d0474-huge-im
in 3. Grade plans
3dbc8c5d69fde9ec98b6284c19254173-huge-im

Then tried running the calculation in Grades > Grade Calculations for different terms but each time it shows 0 students assigned GPA (as a side question, presuming this is a step that has to be done each term to update the student GPA or in general calculate it?)

Not sure what else I am missing or what step I am doing wrong--any help would be greatly appreciated.

    @Nathan Ong I struggled with this quite a bit. One issue was related to the imported credits -we had to treat them 100% as “transfer” credits since they were imported and not created within the system. Each imported class had to match with an active class. Happy to point you to BBKB (Blackbaud KnowledgeBase) articles that I ultimately used to get this working. LMK and I'll dig them out and post.

    @Lauren Marcus Eisenberg I would be interested in seeing these articles - we are having similar problems.

    @Nathan Ong asks “(as a side question, presuming this is a step that has to be done each term to update the student GPA or in general calculate it?)”

    Is this manual process required constantly for each grade/term? Seems like this would be automatically calculated.
