The school year

A grade abroad means nothing
without its scale.

Enrolment four parties have to agree to, subject choice that keeps the home track intact, a timetable in a foreign language, and marks a parent in Belgium can actually read. Both scales, always — never the conversion alone.

First day

Before a student can pick a single subject, the school, the organisation, the guardian and the student all have to say yes. The steps are derived from the record, not ticked off by hand — so the tracker cannot claim a step nobody completed.

Alongside it, what the school itself requires — immunisation record, translated home transcript, language proficiency, guardian signature — each with the date it was verified, and a chase action on the ones that are open.

Home recognition is a column, not a conversation afterwards

Choosing subjects abroad is a negotiation between what the student wants, what the host school offers, and what their home school will recognise. All three are on one screen, and the recognition column is always visible — including when the answer is not recognised, elective only.

Recognition is read off the student’s own home transcript rather than typed, and a gap — a home subject with nothing feeding it — is computed and shown against the free periods that could fill it.

A period clash is a refusal, not a warning: two subjects cannot hold the same period in the same term, and the add button stays disabled until the period changes.

“A letter is a band, so the home figure is a range.”

Why a single converted number is never printed.

Grades

Both scales, and the legal record named

SubjectHostHome 1–20Note
US HistoryA−16.5 – 17.5 A letter is a band, so the home figure is a range
ChemistryB+14.5 – 15.5
Pre-CalculusC11 – 12 Three assessments in a row have dropped

The average is credit-weighted and states how many marks it skipped. A single converted number would invent precision that then gets argued about in a staff room in another country — so a letter maps to a band. Scale conversion is indicative; the host transcript is the legal record, and the page says so.

Transcripts

Generated from the record, every time it is asked for

There is deliberately no frozen PDF. A transcript is generated from the marks at the moment somebody asks for it — every subject, both scales, credits, a reference and an issue date — so it cannot drift from the record it claims to summarise.

Source documents remain separate from values read from them, so generated records do not overwrite the uploaded file. Authorised staff can remove a document; a final retention schedule is not published yet.

“Closing an organisation seat does not delete the person’s Audecius account.”

Account identity and organisation access are separate records.

Meetings

Four calendars, three time zones, and a required adult

When a school raises something, every candidate time is written in every attendee’s own zone at once — nobody has to convert anything — and each row says what is wrong with it: late for the guardian, she is in Chemistry.

Because a minor is present, an adult from the organisation is required and cannot be unchecked. That is enforced from the date of birth, and where there is no date of birth we assume a minor — the safe direction to be wrong in.

The clash check runs against the student’s real timetable, not a guess. Minutes are visible to everyone who attended plus the guardian, and an action with a date becomes a task with a reminder.
