When selecting a grade scale in STARS, choose the format that matches your school's grading system.
Grade Scale Options
- Letter Grades: Choose this if your transcript shows grades like A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, etc.
- Number Grades: Select this if your grades are whole numbers from 0 to 100.
- Decimal Grades: Use this if your grades include decimals (e.g., 89.5).
- Letters and Numbers: Choose this if your transcript uses both letters and numbers.
If your transcript uses a non-standard system (like “Excellent,” “Satisfactory,” “Poor”), and you attended high school in the U.S., please contact STARS support for help.
Alert: If you receive decimal grades but you're unable to enter them, double-check that you selected Decimal Grades and not Number Grades.
Alert: Always enter your grades exactly as shown on your grade report or unofficial transcript.
