Quarterly Marks Processing

If terms are set up as semesters and the school reports quarter marks, then select the Quarterly Marks checkbox.

Normally, when the Teacher Course Assignment, Student Course Assignment or College Course Assignment are run, only one record is generated for the term even though the grades are reported quarterly, because the Student ID, RCDTS Home, Course ID, Course Section and Term must be unique for a single record.

Student ID	RCDTS Home	Course ID	Course Section	Term	Course Start Date	Course End Date
xxxxxxxx	xxxxxxxxxxxx	SCI11	SCI112	S1	08/23/2019	NULL

When the Quarterly Mark flag is checked on the Master Schedule record, the Making Period that the Final Grade is received is added to the end of the Course Section to create a unique record for each Quarter Mark. The Course Start Date and Course End Date will reflect the start and end date of the marking period.

Student ID	RCDTS Home	Course ID	Course Section	Term	Course Start Date	Course End Date
