Coding chart.pdf

This is a coding chart document related to the Palmetto Procedure-Pathway Verification contract opportunity in South Carolina, detailing academic grade coding and transcript calculation protocols for educational institutions. The chart establishes standardized coding for various grade statuses including failed due to absences (WP), failed for other reasons (WF), and financial aid suspension (FA), with corresponding point values and GPA calculations. The document specifies how different grade outcomes—such as passed credit recovery, failed credit recovery, course retakes, and withdrawn courses—are treated in academic calculations, including their inclusion or exclusion from GPA computation, class rank determination, honor roll eligibility, and graduation calculations. Each grade code designates whether earned and potential credit hours are awarded based on course coding and whether the grade displays on student transcripts.

The coding chart serves as an attachment (Attachment D) to establish uniform procedures for pathway verification and academic record management within South Carolina's educational system. The chart differentiates treatment between initial course attempts and recovery options, with specifications for how lower and higher final grades are recorded and calculated. This standardized coding mechanism ensures consistent application of academic policies across institutions participating in the Palmetto Procedure-Pathway Verification initiative, facilitating accurate student record maintenance and transcript documentation for transfer, progression, and graduation purposes.
