Defining Default Course What-If Grades
To set up the course what-if default grade, use the Grading Scheme Table component (GRADING_SCHEME_TBL).
If you have defined a default course what-if grade for a particular grade basis and you do not assign a course grade when setting up a course what-if scenario for a student, the default grade is used in the degree audit when you generate an advisement report using the Request Advisement Report and Generate Advisement Reports components. However, the grade does not appear on the report. The Default AA What If Grade field value is also used for planned, in-progress, and shopping cart courses. If present, the repeat checking process can be run during the degree audit. If no default grade is defined, the degree audit assumes successful completion of the course for purposes of satisfying a degree requirement, but it does not perform repeat checking. If, however, an administrator enters a grade when setting up a what-if course on the Report Request page, that grade will appear on the advisement report. Similarly, if an individual using the What-If Report - Create What-if Scenario (SAA_SS_WHATIF) self-service page enters a grade for a what-if course, the grade will be used for repeat checking and the what-if grade will also appear on the advisement report.
