Graduation Requirements Report

Updated on

The Graduation Requirements Report provides an overview of student progress towards satisfying the graduation requirements set up in the student's assigned graduation program.

If the selected school does not contain grade 12, the Graduation Requirements Report will be titled Promotion Requirements Report (Grades > Promotion Requirements Report).

10. Click a grade level tab to view students within that grade level.

If the graduation program does not have requirements set up by grade level in Grades > Graduation Requirements, the grade level tabs will not display.

Graduation Requirements Report

The report displays students who are assigned to the selected graduation program and have credits remaining to graduate. If a student has completed all of his/her graduation requirements, he or she will not appear on the report.

Each graduation subject is listed in its own column, along with the number of required credits in parentheses. Graduation requirements are set up in Grades > Graduation Requirements. Graduation requirements can be set up by grade level. For example, when viewing the 09 tab of the report, the column headers will display the requirements for students in grade 9. If the graduation program does not have requirements set up by grade level, the grade level tabs will not display on the report.

A green check mark in a column indicates the student has fulfilled the credit requirements for the graduation subject. A green check mark with an hourglass indicates the student has one or multiple courses in progress that fulfill the requirement. Upon passing the course(s), the requirement will be fulfilled. A number value indicates the number of credits that remain to be taken by the student in order to fulfill the requirement.

11. Hover your mouse over a check mark or credit field to view the course title, the grade the student received, the number of credits, the term for completed courses, and the content term (if applicable). The course title, the number of credits, the term, and the content term (if applicable) displays for enrolled courses.  

When the system preference "Show Failed Courses on Grad Requirements Report" is enabled in Setup > System Preferences > Grading tab, failed courses are included in the Completed section of the pop-up.

Graduation Requirements Report

Only applicable to middle schools that use semester courses for non-full year grades: When the system preference Weight GPA by Credits is not enabled, and the grade is not an F or I, the system will check the marking period of the grade. If the marking period is 0 or full year, it is counted as 1 credit, otherwise it is counted as 0.5 credits. If the grade is an F or I, it is counted as 0 credits. To modify this system preference, from the Setup menu, select System Preferences > School Preferences/Default School Preferences tab > Grading tab.

Requirement columns can be filtered. First, enable the filters by clicking the Filter button so that it displays as ON. In the filter text box above a requirement column, enter N to show students who are in progress. Enter !* to show students who are not currently enrolled in a course that could meet the requirement. Enter Y to show students who have completed the requirement.

If assessments have been assigned as part of the graduation requirement plan, tests will be listed as well. Hover your mouse over a check mark to view the name of the test passed.

Graduation Requirements Report

Assessments are established as part of a graduation requirement program via Grades > Graduation Requirements when Assessment is selected from the Type pull-down of the Graduation Programs and Requirements tab. When multiple tests are selected, students only need to pass one to complete the requirement.  Navigate to Assessments > Standardized Tests to set the Min Scale Score from the Setup Tests tab, which is used to determine if a student has passed the test.

12. Scroll to the right to view the columns for state assessments, EOC requirements, Biliteracy Gold and Silver, or other state-specific requirements or programs.

If a student has met an assessment or EOC requirement, the pass date displays in the column. "Waived" will display in a column if the student has an ESE EOC waiver.

Graduation Requirements Report

If the student's graduation program has requirements set up by grade level, the table will be separated into tabs for each school year of enrollment, each containing the graduation requirements for that grade level, the number of required credits for promotion, credits remaining to be taken for promotion, and the currently enrolled credits. The Graduation tab will display all of the requirements to graduate. If the student's graduation program does not have requirements set up by grade level, the table will not be separated into tabs.

At the top of the report, additional information is displayed, including the student's GPA, class rank, cohort year, total credits, reading and math assessment statuses, and EOC assessment statuses.

The individual student report includes custom fields set up with the Visible on Student Grades toggle enabled via Students > Student Fields at the top of the report.
