The Student Course Data Extract reports one record for each course in which a student has received final score. Records report based on selections made on the NJ SMART Extract Editor. When a student exits and re-enters the same course, this is treated as two separate records.
SMART Student Course Data Extract
When the Display Courses with no Final Grade checkbox is marked, students who are not assigned a final outcome/score for the course (based on the report logic below) are included in the report, but the following report fields do not report any data:
- Credits Earned
- Numeric Grade
- Alpha Grade
- Completion Status
Marking this checkbox allows users to see which students do not have a final score assigned to them.
Report Logic
In order for a record to report, the following conditions must be met:
- Course must be active at some point within the report start and end dates.
- Transcript record for course exists.
- Course must have a grading task.
- Student has been assigned a final outcome/score for course.
A set of course records reports per student where the student was assigned a final outcome or score. A record will report for each transcript record when:
- The GPA Weight field is not blank.
- The Current Score field that is not blank.
- The Actual Term falls within the date parameters selected on the extract editor.
Manually added transcript postings will not be reported.
When these records do not exist, the report considers courses that have a state reported grading task set up and value(s) selected for the grading task. Records report for each grading task which has a value selected and falls within the date parameters selected on the extract editor.
- The Current Score field that is not blank.
- The Actual Term falls within the date parameters selected on the extract editor.
- If a student enters, exits, and re-enters and exits the same course section again, the most recent entry/exit date is used.
- The Student Section Exit Date cannot be in the future.
Courses marked as State Exclude are not included.
Mark any grading tasks that you want to report as State Reported in on the Grading Task. Use the term mask feature on the Grading Tasks at the course level to hide the task for certain terms.
Elementary School Scenario
- Report a set of records for courses that are considered year long and typically do not receive an official final grade.
- Standards-based courses may not have transcript records. These courses report based on grading task set up.
Any course with a grading task marked as state reported and a grade is selected reports. This means that if a year long course should only report once, then a value should only be selected for a grading task once (regardless of the amount of terms the course runs). Typically these courses are referred to as prior to secondary.
Middle and High School Scenario
- Report a set of transcript records.
- Course records from the student's Transcript that have a score/grade and GPA weight assigned are considered.
- These records report credit and grading information, which is not expected when a course is prior to secondary.
