How to set up ranking levels

Ranking levels categorise students by their performance in subjects or in a whole course, for example Passed with Distinction, Passed, Failed and Absent.

Set up ranking levels

1. Go to Menu → Academics → Examination → Settings → Ranking Levels.
2. Select the course the ranking levels apply to.
3. In the Name field, enter the name of the ranking level.
4. In the Marks (%) field, enter the marks percentage.
5. Choose the marks limit type:
   • Upper – students scoring below this percentage qualify.
   • Lower – students scoring at or above this percentage qualify.
   • Exact – students scoring exactly this percentage qualify.
6. Enter the number of subjects required for this ranking level.
7. Choose the subject limit type:
   • Upper – at most this number of subjects must meet the marks condition.
   • Lower – at least this number of subjects must meet the marks condition.
   • Exact – exactly this number of subjects must meet the marks condition.
8. Select Consider all previous batches? if the ranking level should also apply to students of previous batches.
9. Click Save.
10. Arrange the ranking levels using the arrow icons. The system checks ranking levels in order, so the right order prevents a student from being placed in more than one level.

To change or remove a ranking level, click Edit or Delete.

Example

With these settings, students are categorised as follows:

• Passed with Distinction – 80% or more in at least 3 subjects.
• Passed – 50% or more in at least 3 subjects.
• Failed – less than 50% in at least 1 subject.
• Absent – exactly 0% in at least 1 subject.
