Understanding Admissions Averages Calculation

When you evaluate an applicant for admission to your organization, you can evaluate that applicant by the grade point average he or she earned in a specific set of classes. For example, an institution with a nursing program can evaluate applicants based on the grade point averages applicants earned in nursing prerequisites.

You can calculate the grade point average, evaluate the applicant based on that grade point average—an SQC defined by your institution determines the status of the application—and then update the applicant's application status.

To evaluate applicants based on admissions averages:

1. Set up the rules for the delivered admissions averages SQC (ADEVLAVG.sqc).

2. Assign the admissions evaluation code to the applicant and run the Materials Extract process (ADMTLEXT.sqr).

3. Run the Evaluating Applicants process (ADMTLRTG.sqr) to calculate the average.

4. Update the application status (ADMTLPGS.sqr).

5. You can also update financial aid and student records and generate an admissions average report.
