Variable Grading Types
Important
Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.
Variable Grading Types have three components: Web Registration Group, Grade Scale, and Credit Type.
These components are defined on the Web Registration Group Definitions page, Grade Scale Definitions page, and Credit Type Definitions page, respectively). The Manage Variable Grading Types action in J1 Web allows you to choose one or more of the existing types to be offered as a choice to students who are registering in Campus Portal. You must first turn on Variable Grading Types for a section or course, and then add the specific grading types to that course or section.
Overview
Variable grading types can be turned on at the course level or the section level. If variable grading types are added to the course, then any new sections created based on that course will adopt the grading types. Variable grading types can also be added, removed, or changed at the section level.
