How to use TermDesk for a college or other post-secondary school
When your account is created, the owner marks it as a Secondary school or a College. For a college the whole system changes its wording: Subject becomes Course, Class becomes Level, Term becomes Semester and Teacher becomes Lecturer.
Give every course its credit units (1 to 12). A course with no units counts as 1.
Choose a grading scale on the Grades page: the 5.0 scale or the 4.0 scale. You can load a preset only before any results have been entered, so choose it at the start.
After you process results, open GPA and CGPA from the results page. GPA is the credit-weighted average for the semester. CGPA covers all semesters up to the current one, using each student's latest attempt at a course.
A course the student failed on their latest attempt is listed as a carryover so staff can plan the resit.
Each student gets a standing based on CGPA. On the 5.0 scale: Distinction 4.50 and above, Credit 3.50 and above, Merit 2.50 and above, Pass 1.50 and above.
Students and parents see their GPA and CGPA on their portal once the semester is published.
