This page is used to maintain the Academic Grade Qualifiers used by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Academic Grade Qualifiers act as a coding scheme to standardize grading scales between sending and receiving institutions. Academic Grade Qualifiers are assigned based upon the course level and the student's grading mode for a particular course. Academic Grade Qualifiers are outlined in the EDI SPEEDE/ExPRESS Implementation Guide, Appendix B, Data Element #1148.
