v4 StudentGrade > Grade Scenarios

The Student Grade interchange defines grades for a grading period or group of grading periods. Grades are defined for groups of grading periods in the case where the grade is cumulative over a semester or academic year (also referred to as "final grades").

Grade: This educational entity represents an overall score or assessment tied to a course over a period of time (i.e., the grading period). Student grades are usually a compilation of marks and other scores.
