9.2 Using Grade Category for P and S Grade in Enrollment Requirement Group

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for how to use a P and S grade in an enrollment requirement.

Audience: Records and Enrollment staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZZ SACR Student Rec Config

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

P and S grades do not have any grade points and are not included in GPA calculations; they are not usable in Academic Advisement or Enrollment Requirements. To allow P or S grade to be used in the requisite rules, you need to assign a grade category to them on the Grading Scheme Table and then assign the grade category to the Line Item.

Navigation:  NavBar > Navigator > Set Up SACR > Product Related  > Student Records > Grading > Grade Category 

Grade Category Table

The values are set up by institution. The same grade categories are shared with Academic Advisement, which may use them for different purposes.

  • The Grade Category 220P (your college code) is used to identify courses taken in-residence and received a grade below 1.0 or D.
  • The Grade Category 220R (your college code) is used to identify courses taken in-residence and received a passing grade, including P and S.  
  • The Grade Category TRPS is used to identify transferred-in courses with a P or S grade.

For course requisite checking, in addition to the Line Item for the minimum grade (e.g., C or 2.0), you would add two separate Line Items for the “R” grade category (220R) for courses taken in-residence and the "TRPS" grade category for transferred in courses. Below are the steps to configure the requirement with a P or S grade for the course requisite check.
