This field indicates that the course contributes to the student’s cumulative GPA calculation. It is basically a multiplier. This should match the credit value for CCS courses.

For example, a school’s score group is on a standard 4.0 scale. A course has a weight of 2. For a student that receives an A (4.0), the GPA value will then equal an 8, thus inflating his calculation. Most often, this field is set to a 1. If the course does not contribute to the GPA at all, leave the field blank.

This list contains all credit types for ES, MS and HS. Scroll down to the right section and choose the appropriate type for this course.
