Transfer Grade Code Maintenance (SHATGRD) page

In addition, this page permits the end user to provide the rules governing which hours (earned, GPA, etc.) are affected by the specific grade symbol. The grade codes are stored by level within the institution.

Additionally, an effective term is associated with each level/grade combination to enable the user to exclude a specific grade code as of a specific term, and optionally, to identify a new set of rules for the level/grade combination.

Changes to existing entries are not permitted, nor is deleting an entry if it has been posted to a student's record.

The table also maintains an Institution Grade and Grading Mode which is used to convert the transferring grade into an acceptable grade at the receiving institution. Each institution must have its own set of valid transfer grades. This must be established before entering transfer articulation information about the student. Transfer grading codes can be copied from one institution to another through use of the Default Institution field in the Key block.

The Default Institution field is enterable when no grades exist for the transfer institution. Use Enter, Tab or Mouse to move to the Default Institution field (as long as both general information and authorized levels have already been entered for the institution on the Transfer Articulation Institution (SOABGTA) page) and an institution which has grades defined can be entered. When a default institution is entered, and the user navigates into the Detail area of the page, the grade definitions from the default institution will be copied to the new institution.

All validation tables referenced by this page must have existing codes. The valid transfer institution level codes must be established on the Transfer Articulation Institution (SOABGTA) page before building the grade codes.
