Good morning,



We are in the process of analyzing what changes need to be made in StudentInformation to include 'integrated credit' for students.  Our understanding is that integrated credit is when a student is taking one course, but is receiving credit in two different CORE Subject Areas.  We are interested in hearing about how your districts handle integrated credit including the specific details.  We've included some topics below that we believe to be correct, and then also some questions at the end.  We would also appreciate any additional comments you have that will help us get this into the product correctly the first time!



We believe this is how it works:

  1.  On the CN Course Master record, only 1 course would be reported for any integrated courses.

     *   Position CN210 - (EMIS) Subject Area for Credit would be ONE subject area only.  The district would need to decide what value would be reported for the integrated course.  So if the course is encompassing both math and science, they would need to choose an EMIS Subject Area for Credit that they want to course to be coded under - it can only have 1.  District decision.
     *   The only credit amounts reported on the CN record is whether or not there is CTE College Credit - so the amount of credit for the course is not actually reported on the CN records

  1.  On the GN Student Course record, only 1 course would be reported for the student for any integrated courses.

     *   Position GN150 - High School Credit Earned would be ONE total credit amount, whether the total course is worth 1 credit or 1.75 credits, the full value would be reported in this field.  This value should include the entire credit amount for the course.

  1.  On the Graduate CORE Summary and on the Non-Graduate CORE Summary, multiple GC records would be reported for the course.

     *   Position GC060 - CORE Area Code This would need to create two records for the CORE Subject Areas.  The credit area would need to create 2 records to show the correct area of credit received for the course
     *   Position GC070 - CORE Area Count  This would need to create 2 separate records for the amount of credit for each subject area.

  1.  Transcripts - the credit values on the transcript would need to reflect the values on the GC records for where each credit is counting - it would not be based on the EMIS Subject Area for Credit.
  2.  Student Course History - when credit is received in multiple CORE areas, both CORE areas need to appear with the amount of credit on the Student Course History screen.
  3.  Grad Points Summary - would need to calculate the requirements met based on both CORE summary values.





Questions:

  1.  Is the CORE Area Credit count the same for every student in the class?  Example, CORE Area Credit is predetermined as .75 credit for FIN core area and .25 credit for BUS core area.  This is the amount EVERY student in the course section receives if course is complete.  If not, please provide what the district does for students in the course.
  2.  If a student drops out of the example course in #1 after the first semester, and the district awards partial credit, how do they determine the values for the CORE credit count?
  3.  Please describe (if possible), step by step, how a district handles integrated credit from beginning to end, so that we know we aren't missing anything.



As always, we appreciate your input and assistance so that StudentInformation provides the best possible processes for your districts.  Thanks in advance for your assistance with this item!!
