The <a title=\"Powerfully Simple School Management\" href=\"www.quickschools.com\">QuickSchools<\/a>\u00a0Transcripts module is very similar to our <a title=\"Customizing your QuickSchools Report Card\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2013\/12\/20\/customizing-your-report-cards\/\">Report Cards module<\/a>, in that you can very easily configure existing templates to suit your needs. And if our existing templates don&#8217;t quite fit your needs, we can certainly build new templates as well.<\/p>\n<p>Here we discuss some considerations when building \/ configuring your transcripts on QuickSchools. Let\u2019s start with a few questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h2>How do you award credit (by quarter, or semester, or year)?<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Credit is often times awarded independently of the grades that appear in your report cards. For example, you may have report cards with 4 quarters, but if credits are awarded yearly, the transcripts will only show a single end-of-year grade. And if credit is awarded for every semester, then the transcripts will only show grades for each semester (and not for each quarter). Colleges typically are not interested in how semester or yearly grades are calculated from quarterly grades.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3458\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3458\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/transcripts_sample1.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3458\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2015\/01\/23\/transcripts-best-practices\/transcripts_sample\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/transcripts_sample1.png?fit=827%2C854&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"827,854\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Sample QuickSchools Transcript\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Sample QuickSchools Transcript&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/transcripts_sample1.png?fit=809%2C835&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-3458 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/transcripts_sample1.png?resize=600%2C620&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sample QuickSchools Transcript\" width=\"600\" height=\"620\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sample QuickSchools Transcript<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the example above, credits are awarded every semester.

But if your final grades require the inclusion of specific final exams, then that will need to be factored in. Or if your grade is a running total for the entire year (i.e. a single gradebook for the entire year with no averages), that would need to be factored in as well.
