Class Rank

You can use the Class Rank report to display a list of students ranked according to their Grade Point Averages (GPAs) for a particular course program or area of study.

If you frequently generate reports with the same selection criteria, you can save the selection criteria under a name. This makes it easier to regenerate the report with the same settings in the future.

Procedure to Generate the Report

  1. Specify the data selection criteria.

    Areas of StudyClosed The various areas, such as Major, Minor, or Concentration, that the students have taken to complete their degree. The areas of study are configured by your institution.

    Campus GroupsClosed The group you specified for the campus. Your institution configures the groups for campuses.

    CampusesClosed The campus or campuses to which a person or item is assigned. It is filtered to display the campuses to which you have access. In some cases, it is also used to filter a list to only those items for the campus. In some lists, you can select more than one campus or select All. In lists that display columns, if the column contains more than one campus, you cannot sort or filter on that column.

    GPA Evaluation MethodClosed Select a method to evaluate grade point averages (GPAs) for the student. The options are: - Overall GPA: This evaluates students' rankings based on the GPA for the selected course programs taken by the student. - Area of Study GPA: This evaluates students' rankings based on the GPA for the selected area of study.

    Grade LevelsClosed The grade level for the student. Grade levels are configured by your institution and do not have to correspond to the option on the FAFSA or Stafford loan forms. The grade level is assigned to a student under Academic Records > Enrollment > Progress section. For a student to qualify for federal financial aid, a college grade level (1st year, 2nd year, etc.) must be assigned. For a Graduate PLUS loan, the grade level must be configured with the Department of Education ID 7 (Graduate/Professional or beyond).

    Graduation DateClosed The date when the student graduated or is scheduled to graduate from the program version. From and To

    Load Saved CriteriaClosed Select the saved criteria you want to load in the selection criteria fields.

    Program VersionsClosed The program version associated with the student or item.

    Student ID to PrintClosed Indicates whether you want to include the Student ID, Social Security Number, Enrollment Number, or None. Note: The ID is printed for each student selected for the report. Most reports have all three student IDs available to print on the report. The SSN is required on some reports. You must be authorized to view social security numbers (SSNs) and to select SSNs in the list. Reports about leads (prospects) do not have an Enrollment ID. The ID selection is not used for reports that do not list individual students.

    Student StatusesClosed The prospect or student status at your institution is configurable and may differ by school. When you change a student's status, you must confirm the update in a dialog box, and if there are pending tasks from the previous status, another dialog lets you choose which tasks to keep or close as canceled. A student's current status (like Active) depends on their history and activation units; simply entering a Version Start Date does not automatically activate them without proper status progression. Status values help filter student records in lists, processes, and reports. Alumni statuses include "complete" or "graduated."

    Version Start DateClosed The start date of the program version for the campus that the student is enrolling in. From and To

Task Action to Take
View the report

  1. Select the View Report button. Anthology Student displays the generated report.
Export the report

  3. Select the Export button.

Anthology Student exports the generated report as a CSV file, which may be viewed in Excel. In some cases, the exported file will contain additional data not displayed in the report on your screen.

If you entered special characters like *, -, !, (, or ) in the report fields, Anthology Student automatically prepends an apostrophe to those field values upon export to Excel or CSV. The apostrophe is added to reduce vulnerability, as these characters are perceived by Excel as an actionable formula. Once the report is exported to Excel, Anthology suggests using find and replace on the characters only if necessary to restore original values.
