The Academic Criteria function is used to set up certificate rules based on your own criteria. Specific formulas are built to calculate results using Merit, Year, or Promotion marks already calculated by the curriculum formulas.

My School > Achievements > Databases > Academic Criteria

Prerequisite: Formulas for Promotion mark, Merit mark, and/or Year mark must already be set up at My School > Curriculum > Year-End Formulas > Subject-Specific Formulas before using this function.

Frequently asked questions

Why must I set up year-end formulas first?

The Academic Criteria function relies on Merit, Year, or Promotion marks calculated by the curriculum formulas. Without these formulas the calculation will not be possible.

What is the difference between consolidated and non-consolidated subjects?

Consolidated subjects combine all selected subjects into one total to determine the top learner. Non-consolidated subjects evaluate achievements per subject separately.
