Tool Search: Credit Summary
The Credit Summary tool displays the total number of credits listed on the student’s transcript based on the credit defined by the school. Student GPA information is also displayed. For more information on GPAs, see the GPA Calculations in Campus article.
Read - View the Credit Summary tool, select a Credit Type, and see which courses the student has taken in that group.
Write - N/A
Add - N/A
Delete - N/A
Read rights to Transcripts are also needed. This allows users to select the credit total for a Credit Type (under the Total column) and view detailed data for the courses the student took tied to that Credit Type. This is a separate tool right because the data view is the student's transcript record.
See the Tool Rights article for more information about Tool Rights and how they function.

The student's GPA and class rank are displayed at the top of the Credit Summary. When the student's calendar of enrollment is associated with Custom GPA calculations, these calculations are displayed below the Cumulative GPA calculation.
See the GPA Calculations in Campus for more information.
Courses in a Selected Credit Group
Users can view all courses within a credit group by selecting a credit group on the left side of the screen.
Once a credit group is selected, a list of all courses within the calendar is displayed. This feature is useful when identifying other courses a student may take to fulfill credits within the specific credit group. To return to the previous screen, select the Credit Summary tool.
Credit Group Totals
To view a list of all courses the student has taken within a specific credit group, select a Total on the right-hand side of the editor. A detailed screen describing course and credit information is displayed, which looks very similar to the student's Transcript but only shows courses from the selected credit group.
To return to the previous screen, select the Credit Summary tool from the Index or search for the tool.

The Student Credits Report can be used to view the total credits a student has earned by grade level for multiple students. It does NOT include the Credit Category.
