How to calculate course results

Calculate multiple students from Process Course Results

From the Process Course Results (PCR) screen you can choose to calculate for:

• all students
• a filtered list of students (e.g. just those in first sit or resit)
• selected students by using the tick boxes
• individual students

The calculate action from the PCR screen won't let you calculate students with a course result that was manually changed. This is to ensure manual amendments are not overwritten.

If the grade was changed to null sit, absent, resit or credits on aggregate (NS, AN, R, CA, UA) you can override this change and set a calculated result using the 'Reset to calculated result' action. This process will only work on records that have been changed to one of the grades in the 'Change grades' drop down list. For guidance please see Reset to calculated result.
