• Review your Grading Period setup. If you have multiple final grading periods (common with secondary sites), ensure the Term Type for each final grading period is unique.
  • Example: If you have 2 final grading periods, such as Semester 1 Final and Semester 2 Final, ensure the Semester 1 Final grading period is set to the First Semester term type and Semester 2 Final is set to Second Semester term type. See the Set Grading Periods help document for reference on creating/editing grading periods.
  • Incorrect grading period setup will often show errors around duplicates.
  • If grading period Term Types are edited, you must re-submit CRSE and SCSE to CALPADS (CRSE first, SCSE second), then submit the CRSC (third) and SCSC (fourth).

A new column for Carnegie Units Earned has been added with the following logic:

• For final grades being pulled into the SCSC, where grade levels 9-12 and CRS-State Course Code is less than or greater than 1000, the following default values will appear:
  • Semester Class with passing grade earning credits = 0.5 Carnegie Unit
  • Full Year Class with passing grade earning credits = 1 Carnegie Unit
  • Quarter Class with passing grade earning credits = 0.25 Carnegie Unit
  • Trimester Class with passing grade earning credits = 0.33 Carnegie Unit
  • Hexmester Class with passing grade earning credits = 0.17 Carnegie Unit
  • Classes with failing grades earning 0 credits = 0 Carnegie Units

In the event the default logic does not apply for student records, manual changes must be made in CALPADS.
