New Students and Transferring Grades

When a student has been scheduled into your class after school has started, a "New" button will appear next to the student's name. When you click this button, you will see five different options. The option(s) you choose will depend on the scenario of the transferring student.

1. Click the New button to begin the process of transferring grades.



2. If you want to get rid of the New button, uncheck Do not display NEW by this student's name.


As you read through this document you will see instructions for all 5 options. You are free to use whichever option(s) you see fit when transferring grades for new students but we have provided you with the most common scenarios and recommendations for each.

Scenario #1: Student has transferred from one class period to another class period of the same teacher (course number must be identical) Recommended: Use Option #1.

Scenario #2: Student has transferred from one class period to another class period of a different teacher (course number must be identical) Recommended: Use Option #5 to transfer assignment grades for the current grading period and Option #4 to transfer term grades for closed grading periods (if applicable).
