Grading Schemes and Transcripts for Schools and Colleges
One scheme, many subjects
A grading scheme maps marks to bands. Define it once, then apply it consistently. Schools, plus-two programs, and colleges often need different schemes, sometimes in the same institution.
Bands, GPA, and pass rules
Whether you use letter grades, GPA, or a percentage, the scheme should define the bands and the pass rule. A subject can carry its own weightage where needed.
Semesters and terms
Colleges and higher secondary programs run on terms or semesters, with credits. The record should carry that structure so a transcript can show performance over time.
Transcripts from the record
A transcript is a formatted view of results that already exist. Generating it from the record avoids transcription errors and keeps the document consistent with the published result.
Configurable, not hard-coded
Grading is not universal. The scheme belongs in configuration, so an institution can match the standard it reports against.
