Grade

A grade orders classes by educational progression: Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9 in school; L1, L2, L3 in a bachelor's degree; Bachelor, Master, year 1, year 2… depending on the institution.

It is an organizational label, not a placement constraint: the grade imposes nothing on the solver. It is used to sort and find classes — in the class screens, in several filters and in some diagnostic views.

Where to configure it

Grades are part of the account's general settings. From the general settings, under Grades, you can create them via Create, delete them, and drag and drop them to reorder — the order reflects the progression.

Each class is then assigned a grade when it is created (see Creating the classes).

Grade, campus and site

Three neighboring notions not to be confused:

  • the grade places the class in a progression (how far along the curriculum the class is);
  • the campus attaches it to an organizational entity (faculty, division, location);
  • the site gives its physical location and the rooms used by default.

The same class generally carries all three: a grade, possibly a campus, and a default site.
