Grading tables are divided into five different types:
| = | Letter Grade: Grades entered as letters appear on report cards as letters; for example A, B, C, D, F [>>]. |
| = | Numeric: Grades entered as numbers are either left as is or Chancery SMS converts the grades so that they appear as letter grades or graphic symbols on the report card [>>]. |
| = | Graphic Symbol: Grades entered as codes will appear on the report card as graphic symbols; for example, "H" for J [>>]. |
| = | Narrative Comments: Grades are entered as free form text [>>]. |
| = | Standard Comments: Grades are selected from a list of options [>>]. |
Grading table types correspond to the way teachers enter the grades, not to how the grades appear on the report card. The type you choose depends on the needs of your school [Table 37].
