GPA type must have a value entered to populate a grading scheme on the Courses and Degrees page when OUAC transmissions are processed. This setup is important because grading scheme is a required field and—if it is not populated—the user cannot make any changes to that page without getting an error message. Use the Organization Affiliation page to define a GPA type for an organization.
Access the School Course Classification page ().
Use the School Course Classification page to define school course classifications for OUAC organizations. The values you enter on this page populate fields on the Courses and Degrees page when you post OUAC transmissions.
Secondary school comments on the A9 transaction appear on the Comments pages. To view them, you must first set up the comment category SECSCH. You must also tie it to at least one 3C group. Use the Comment Category Table page to define the SECSCH comment category. Use the Comment 3C Groups page to tie the SECSCH comment category to a 3C group.
