Career Plan for Student

On this page:

Use the Career Plan page to review a student's progress toward meeting Career Planner requirements for the student's year of graduation and supplementary requirement groups. If the student's primary graduation requirement group is defined as a Career Plan, it is tracked as the first plan displayed on the page.

Your district can define supplemental Career Planner requirements to specify the number of course credits a student must complete in subject areas to earn a certification or fulfill a career-oriented curriculum. The Career Plan page provides separate panels for the student's Career Plan and supplemental plans. For each plan, the system displays the credits required and attained by subject area. It then shows how the student's courses apply to the subject areas for the grade levels defined in the Career Plan.

Information from this page displays in the Home Access Center's Career Plan page, which allows guardians and students to enter course requests. This depends on the Home Access Center District Configuration, as well as settings on students' Student Addresses and Contact pages.

Requests also can be entered by counselors and other staff on the Career Plan Requests page.

Grade Level (School Year) Sections

Each grade level has its own section listing the subject areas, plus additional fields defined by the Career Plan View setup for the student's building and graduation year.

Field	Description
Subject Area	Career Plan subject area as assigned in the Graduation Requirements Setup. The following fields display based on the Career Plan View. Your screen may not show all of the fields listed.
Course	Can include the course description, course code, and section number. The combination is determined by the Career Plan View Setup. Courses are displayed by the grade level when they were completed, scheduled, or requested. The system provides credit values for each course so you can track the student's progress toward fulfilling the overall subject area credit requirement. The following conventions are used to indicate the course's status: If a course is for the current year or a prior year, it displays as a hyperlink to the course's Mark Reporting Detail page. To return to the Career Plan page, click Back. If a course is not yet complete, it displays in italics. This applies to current year courses that are in progress as well as courses requested for future grade levels. An asterisk ( * ) indicates that the course is a district request, that is, from the District Course Catalog, since in this case, the student's next year building is not known. If course requests are not displaying, run the Graduation Requirement calculation by selecting (Additional options), and then clicking Calculate.
Att Credit (Attempted Credit)	Number of credits the student attempted for a course, based on the student's Mark Reporting record for courses in the current year or a prior year. For future-year courses, the credit values come either from the Building Course Catalog or if the course displays an asterisk, the District Course Catalog. The display of this field depends on the Career Plan View page.
Area Credit	Number of credits the student can earn for the course toward fulfilling the Career Plan subject area's credit requirement. For courses in progress or requested for future years, the system assumes the student will earn full credit. If the student has a minimum mark warning for the course, the Area Credit will be 0.00. For more information, refer to How the Graduation Requirement Calculation Processes Minimum Mark Requirements. The display of this field depends on the Career Plan View setup.
Earn Credit (Earned Credit	Number of credits the student earned for the course, based on the student's Mark Reporting record. The display of this field depends on the Career Plan View setup.
Mark Type (district defined)	Mark value for the mark type indicated, such as MP (Marking Period), SEM (Semester), or FIN (Final). The information displayed is taken from the student's Mark Reporting record. The display of these fields depends on the Career Plan View setup.
