2. On the Search Screen, enter search criteria to locate the group of students. Click More Search Options to access search options based on student fields. Click Search.
See Searching for Students for more information on how to conduct a student search.
At the top of the report, Course History is selected by default. When Course History is selected, the report considers each student's full course history when displaying the progress the student has made towards fulfilling the graduation requirements assigned to his/her graduation program.
3. To only consider Full-year Grades, Semester Grades, or Quarter Grades, click the appropriate tabs at the top of the screen.
4. Modify the Effective date as needed.
Only students active as of the effective date will display on the report.
5. Click Change to regenerate the report.
6. Select the graduation program to view from the pull-down.
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. 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.
7. Click the grade level tabs, such as 10, to view credit requirements per year that the student would be expected to complete while working towards the fulfillment of requirements in their assigned graduation program. This allows you to actively monitor students 'progress toward meeting the benchmarks associated with each year of the students' attendance in school.
8. 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.
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. Administrators can modify the system preference via Setup > System Preferences > School Preferences/Default School Preferences tab > Grading tab.
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.
Assessments are established as part of a graduation requirement program via 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. The Min Scale Score from the Setup Tests tab is used to determine if a student has passed the test via Assessments > Standardized Tests.

To meet the requirement, the credit must be attained by successfully completing a science course with an “EQ” (equally rigorous) subject code. These courses include accelerated courses (AP, IB, AICE and dual enrollment). For more information, refer to the Florida Course Code Directory at http://www.fldoe.org/policy/articulation/ccd.
Only applicable for Florida State Reporting customers. The Met Online Course Req value is displayed on the Student's Final Grades, Test History, and Graduation Requirement Report screens.
If there is a course value in the state's course code directory with a value of 05 or 10, Focus uses it; otherwise the customer's Master Course total credit will be leveraged. This allows users to include dual enrollment and other courses not present in the state's CCD to the calculation.
Courses marked as Active as well as Inactive in Course Catalog are included.
Courses that are populated with course numbers greater than 7 characters are considered, as well.
