Pass/Fail Indicator Code
The Pass/Fail Indicator Code is used to indicate the outcome for a course taken by a particular student.
Pass/Fail Indicator Code Default Settings
Students enrolled in courses that are marked as Pass/Fail are assigned a default Pass/Fail Indicator Code depending on the score received. While this field defaults to a preset value, teachers may edit the field if necessary. The Score Group aligned to the grading task indicates which grades are passing or failing. This is most often district-defined. Once a grade is posted, or entered, for a student, the Pass/Fail Indicator code is automatically populated with the appropriate default code. While this field defaults to a preset value, teachers may edit the field if necessary.
Default Codes
- A Pass/Fail Indicator Code of 01: Course was passed and credit was received is assigned if:
- The Course is marked as Pass/Fail
- The Score Group aligned to the grading task for the grade is marked as a passing score
- A Pass/Fail Indicator Code of 02: Course failed and no credit received/first occurrence is assigned if:
- The Course is marked as Pass/Fail
- The Score Group aligned to the grading task for the grade is NOT marked as a passing score
Editing the Pass/Fail Indicator Code
If a Pass/Fail Code other than the default value is needed, teachers may manually edit the code value.
- To edit the Pass/Fail Indicator Code value, select the appropriate Pass/Fail Code, and use the drop-list to select the desired code value.
- Once finished, be sure to Save the changes.
