Clarifying Points

Transcripts: The transcripts in Infinite Campus are still being finalized. If you need to print a transcript for a student in the meantime, please use the transcript saved from PowerSchool. DPI will notify PSUs once the transcripts are ready for use within Infinite Campus.

Flags: Please do NOT change any flag that has DPI in the title and is checked as State Edition.

Service Type: Please see information below for designating a service type on the Enrollment tool. 

Primary (P)- to be used for the primary enrollment for the student

Partial (S)- to be used for cross-enrollments

Special Ed Services (N)- Do not use

GPA Calculation:

GPA weight is synonymous with course credits.  Bonus points are not being used based on NC GPA calculations.  The GPA added value that was done in PowerSchool is done through score groups in Infinite Campus.  There are 3 score groups for High School credit courses that are used – 4pt, 4.5pt and 5pt.

In Infinite Campus, the GPA calculation involves taking the GPA value from the score group :associated with a specific score and multiplying it by the course credit (GPA weight). This result is then summed and divided by the total course credits (GPA weights). Below is an example illustrating this process:

10215X0      English 1 Honors                   87       3.5 GPA pts    1 credit

20902X0      Foundations of NC Math 1    95       4 GPA pts       1 credit

WC032X2    CCP ARCH I 2 Credits          99       4 GPA pts       2 credits

3.5 * 1 = 3.5

4 * 1 = 4

4 * 2 = 8

3.5 + 4 + 8 = 15.5

15.5 / 4 = 3.875

Combine Person Tool & ServiceNow Tickets:

• Current Status: PSUs are currently unable to use the Combine Person tool.
• Help Ticket Update: If you find that one individual (student or staff) has multiple Person records with different student or staff UIDs associated, please submit a ServiceNow ticket. NCDPI will correct both Infinite Campus and the appropriate UID System. Please do not submit tickets for duplicate Person records where one of the records does not have an associated UID — for example, an employee who has one Person record as an employee and a second Person record as a parent. This process may change, and we will provide further updates as needed.

User Group Roles:

Please ensure you create a user group for your Transportation staff who need access to Infinite Campus to view or update student transportation information.
