Gradebook Built for the US 4.0 GPA System

US colleges run on the 4.0 GPA scale with grade forgiveness policies, academic standing thresholds, and Latin honours at graduation. OpenEduCat ships the standard US_GPA_4PT scale with 11 letter grades, automatic Dean's List and probation flagging, and the grade forgiveness engine that replaces failed grades with the best retake, all while keeping transcript records FERPA-ready.

Escalas de Avaliação

Faixas de notas pré-configuradas incluídas no módulo United States. Nenhuma configuração manual necessária.

NotaPontos / IntervaloDescrição
A (Excellent)4.0, 90 to 100%Top grade on the standard 4.0 scale. A student scoring 93% in Organic Chemistry earns 4.0 quality points per credit hour.
B+ (Good Plus)3.3, 83 to 86%Above the B cutoff. For a 4-credit course, this contributes 13.2 quality points toward the semester GPA.
B (Good)3.0, 80 to 82%Standard "good" performance. A 3.0 GPA is the typical benchmark for graduate school eligibility.
C (Average)2.0, 70 to 72%Minimum grade for major courses at many institutions. A student at 2.0 cumulative is at the academic warning threshold.
D (Below Average)1.0, 60 to 62%Passing but poor. Many programs do not accept D grades for major or prerequisite courses.
F (Fail)0.0, Below 60%No credit earned. The F counts in GPA until the student retakes the course under the grade forgiveness policy.

O Que o Módulo United States Faz

Recursos específicos do país que vão além do motor central do diário de notas.

1

Grade Forgiveness (Best Grade Replacement)

When a student retakes a failed course, the best grade replaces the original in the GPA calculation. Both grades remain on the transcript, the active grade is marked with an asterisk (*) and the superseded grade with "E" (Excluded). A student who earned an F in Calculus I and later retakes it for a B sees the B count toward GPA while the F is annotated but excluded.

2

Academic Standing Tracking

The system automatically flags students based on cumulative GPA thresholds: Dean's List at 3.5+, Academic Warning below 2.0, Academic Probation below 1.5, and Academic Dismissal below 1.0. These thresholds are configurable per institution. Standing changes are recorded per semester so the student's academic trajectory is visible over time.

3

Latin Honours at Graduation

Graduating students are classified into Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Cum Laude based on cumulative GPA. The default thresholds (3.9, 3.7, 3.5) are configurable. The honours designation appears on the transcript footer and diploma.

4

Allow Improvement on Passed Courses

Unlike strict retake-only-on-failure policies, the US forgiveness policy allows students to retake courses they passed to improve their grade. A student with a C in Statistics can retake for a B. The best grade applies. This is configured via the allow_improvement flag on the re-attempt policy.

5

US Transcript Format

Semester-by-semester breakdown showing course name, credit hours, grade, and grade points. Each semester displays the semester GPA and the running cumulative GPA. Latin honours (if applicable) appear at the footer of the final semester. Grade forgiveness annotations show both the original and replacement grades.

6

FERPA-Ready Access Controls

Student grade records are protected by role-based access. Faculty see only their assigned courses. Advisors see only their advisees. The registrar has full access. Audit logs track every grade view and modification. This supports FERPA compliance by ensuring student education records are accessible only to authorized personnel.

7

Semester GPA and Cumulative GPA

The system stores both semester GPA and cumulative GPA per student. The semester GPA drives academic standing checks (Dean's List, probation). The cumulative GPA drives graduation honours. Both values are computed automatically when gradebooks are published.

Política de Reavaliação

Grade Forgiveness (Best Grade Wins)

US universities use grade forgiveness as the primary re-attempt mechanism. When a student retakes a course, the best grade across all attempts is used for GPA calculation. There is no cap on the retake grade, a student who failed with an F can earn an A on the retake and receive full 4.0 quality points. Both grades appear on the transcript with annotations: asterisk (*) for the active grade, "E" for the excluded grade. The allow_improvement flag permits students to retake courses they already passed, making it a grade improvement tool as well.

Como as reavaliações afetam o histórico escolar

  • A nota ativa (contabilizada no GPA) é marcada com um asterisco (*)
  • Notas substituídas ou excluídas são anotadas com seu código de status
  • Todas as tentativas aparecem no histórico escolar para total transparência acadêmica
  • Pendências canceladas, condicionadas, compensadas e isentas não bloqueiam a formatura
