Courses and Grading


Audit Course Master Information

Navigation: Grading & Standards  > Course Masters > Course Master Information

Course Master Information should be audited on a regular basis to ensure settings, tasks, and calculations are correct.

  • See the Course Master Information | Infinite Campus article for more information on the workflow. 
  • This chart provides information specific to NC.
  • Any changes at the Course Master level should be pushed to the Courses for changes to take effect at the school level. Course settings at the school level must be pushed to the sections. 
  • NCDPI has created a report to validate GPA weights
    • Navigate to Reporting > Data Validation > Data Validation Report > (NC) GPA Configuration Verification

Relink Courses to the Course Master (if applicable)

Navigation: Grading & Standards  > Course Masters > Course Status

Relinking courses to the Course Master ensures the course data at the school level is aligned with the Course Masters.


Audit Grade Calc Options

Navigation: Grading & Standards > Course Masters > Grade Calc Options

Auditing the Grade Calc Options ensures the students will receive the correct final score for a course.

  • See the Grade Calc Options | Infinite Campus article for information on how to set-up the grade calc options in Infinite Campus. 
  • For the same course that can be taught as a semester course or as a year long course, the course must have two separate course codes because the grading calculations have different setup requirements. 
    • Example Course Code - CD102X0
      • One school teaches the course in a semester (either semester 1 OR semester 2) and students receive an Final grade at the end of the semester. This school uses a course code - CD102X0S. S is a locally defined extension.
      • One school teaches the course on an A/B schedule and students receive an Final grade at the end of the school year. This school uses a course code - CD102X0YY is a locally defined extension.
  • If a standards-based course must receive a final grade, the Final Grade task must be added to the Grade Calc Options

Audit Grading Tasks

Navigation: Grading & Standards  > Course Masters > Grading Tasks

Auditing the Grading Tasks ensures the correct course credit and score group is assigned to the course. 

  • Refer to the NCDPI Master course code list for correct credits and GPA weights.
  • See the Grading Tasks | Infinite Campus article for information on how to set-up the grade calc options in Infinite Campus. 

Standards-Based Grading

  • If the course must receive a final grade, the Final Grading Task must be set up.  

Audit Standards Bank (if applicable)

Navigation: Grading & Standards > Standards Setup > Standards Bank

Auditing the Standards Bank ensures the correct Standards setup for your grading needs.
