The credit checker in jmc Office is a great tool for tracking student graduation progress, and the first step in setting up the credit checker is creating subject areas. Subject areas allow users to group course requirements by content area. Once subject areas are created, users will be ready to edit graduation credit requirements.

In jmc Office, head to Grading > Credit Checker > Edit Subject Areas to begin!

Step One: Select a year from the "Graduation Year" drop-down list to begin creating subject areas for a graduating class.

Helpful Tip: Begin by creating subject areas for your freshmen as this will form the foundation for future years of using the credit checker.

Step Two: Click the "Add Subject Area" link to add a new subject area for course grouping.

Step Three: Enter a subject ID and a subject area in the appropriate fields to define the subject area. For example "001" "Math" or "02" "Social Studies".

Step Four: Click the "Save" link to finish creating the new Subject Area or click the "Cancel" link to disregard your changes.

Helpful Tip: Click the "Edit" or "Delete" link next to a subject area to make changes.
