A relationship must exist between the unit offering option Grading Schema and the overriding Course Offering Pattern Grading Schema. This relationship is created in the Maintain Grading Schema Grade Translation (ASSF5120).

Update Process

This job translates Student Unit Attempt Outcomes where:

• A Grading Schema has been recorded for the Course Offering Pattern
• The Unit Grading Schema Precedence check box has NOT been selected for the unit Offering Option Grading Schema.
• The Student Unit Attempt Outcome has not been 'finalised'.
• The student Course Attempt status is not UNCONFIRMED or DELETED.
• The Student Unit Attempt status is ENROLLED.
• A relationship between the unit Offering Option Grading Schema and the Course Offering Pattern Grading Schema has been created.

Outcomes are always keyed/recorded using the unit Offering Option Grading Schema. If the above conditions are satisfied, the translation process updates the existing outcome Grade based on the mapping that exists between the Grade in the unit Offering Option Grading Schema and the Grade in the Course Offering Pattern Grading Schema.

For example: the keyed unit Offering Option Grade is D - Distinction. The unit Offering Option Grading Schema is mapped to a PASS-FAIL Course Offering Pattern Schema, such that all pass Grades are linked to the Grade PASS. When the translation process is run, the 'D' grade is updated (translated) to PASS.
