MicroGrade allows you to transfer student information between class files. Student records, scores, attributes, and attendance records can be moved easily from one MicroGrade class file to another. Use the following steps to help you complete the transfer process:

NOTE: Before you begin the transfer student process, you will need to have the class file you will be transferring from and the class file you will be transferring to available for use. If you need to create a new class file to receive the transfer information, refer to Creating or Opening a Class File or the Save As Function .

1. Open the class file that contains the information you would like to transfer.
2. From the Students menu, choose Transfer Students.
   
   The Select Students To Be Transferred dialog displays.
   
   
3. From the Active Students list box, select the students you would like to transfer. You can double-click on a student's name, click once on a student's name and use the arrow buttons in the center of the dialog box, or use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select students for transfer. Student names will appear in the Selected Students list box when selected for transfer.
4. Modify the selected students list by using the arrow buttons or by choosing Clear Selected Students.
5. Click OK when finished.
6. The Select a Class File to Transfer Student To will display. Select the appropriate file and click Open.
7. A validation message will appear to notify you of any errors found. Click OK to proceed with the transfer process. The Transfer Students dialog will display with any error information.

   If there are errors reported, review the information listed in the dialog. Errors will usually be the result of any inconsistencies between your class files, such as differences in category and assignment names and assigned point values. You can choose to print the error messages, write the error messages to disk, cancel the transfer process or proceed with the transfer. If you choose to proceed, you should carefully review the class file you transferred information to in order to verify the information that was accepted during the transfer process.
9. When the transfer process is complete, close your original class file and open the transfer class file to begin working with your transferred student records.

NOTE: Transferred students are marked as dropped in the original class file. To restore a transferred student to your original class file, from the Students menu, choose Student Records. Click on the Edit Dropped Students button and restore a student by highlighting the name, and then clicking on the Add button.
