If your transcript includes grades with decimals (such as 89.5 or 77.3), you can record them exactly in STARS using the Decimal Grades option.
Where To Select "Decimal Grades"
- Go to the Enter High Schools screen.
- Select Decimal Grades from the Grade Scale list.
- This enables you to type in decimal values when entering course grades.
Saving Your Grade
After entering your decimal grade for a course, be sure to click Save Course to save your changes.
Can I Switch Between Grade Scales?
Note: You may switch between grade scales (e.g., Letter, Number, Decimal) as needed to match how each course is graded on your transcript.
Helpful Tip
Tip: Only select “Decimal Grades” if your transcript includes grades with decimal points. Always choose the scale that matches how each grade is reported.
