- Eric Jansson
Overview
This 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").
Like all standard Ed-Fi interchanges, this schema references the Ed-Fi Core XSD and can be extended using the Ed-Fi Extensions Framework. See the Ed-Fi Data Standard: Developers' Guide for more information.
Use Cases
The Student Grade Interchange can be used to:
Exchange a student’s full or partial academic record or transcript.
Exchange interim, grading period, semester, or final report card data.
Exchange grades.
Exchange students’ graduation information.
