Fix: saving a transcript final-grade override now works.
Setting an official final grade on a transcript could fail with a "network error" message. Saving now goes through reliably. Grades already recorded are unaffected.
Record an official final grade on a student's transcript.
Sometimes a course's official final grade needs to differ from the live gradebook average — a grade your school has confirmed, a credit carried over from an earlier decision, or a correction made after the year has closed. Directors can now set that official grade right on the transcript: open a student's transcript, click the pencil next to a course, enter the final percentage and a short reason, and the transcript, GPA, and report cards all reflect it. Your gradebook and quarter grades are never changed, the adjustment is clearly marked for your records, and you can revert to the calculated grade at any time.
Fix: public club links now include your school's subdomain.
The "Copy public link" button (and the cancel/manage link in guest payment-confirmation emails) was building URLs without the school's subdomain — e.g. test.nav.education/... instead of compass.nav.education/... — so families would have hit the wrong site. Public links now always carry the correct tenant subdomain.
Copy a public club's sign-up link right from your Clubs list.
Clubs you've opened to the public now show a "Public" badge and a Copy public link button on your Clubs list, so you can grab the shareable registration link and send it to families in one click — no more hunting for the URL. The link always uses your school's primary web address so families get a clean, correct link no matter how you're logged in.
Public club sign-up pages are here — let families register and pay without a NavEd account.
Your school can now share a public sign-up link for a club, and families who don't have a NavEd login can register their child and pay online in one flow. Each public page is tenant-branded, shows live "spots remaining," collects the liability waiver and no-refund acknowledgment, and emails the family a confirmation with a link to manage or cancel. Guests appear right alongside students in your club roster (badged "Guest"), share the same capacity limit, and can be refunded with one click. This is the v2.4 Public Pages Framework — the full capability is summarized here; see the dated entries below for each piece.
Your public club registration pages stay live through every update.
Schools using public club sign-up pages no longer need a manual step after a product update to keep those pages working. The guarantee that your public club registration pages are switched on is now applied automatically on every deploy, so a guest visiting your sign-up link will never hit an unexpected "page not found." Previously, a deploy could leave the public pages switched off until someone manually re-enabled them.
Guests now get a confirmation email after paying — with a link to manage or cancel.
When someone completes payment for a club registration on your public sign-up page, they now receive a receipt-style confirmation email letting them know their child's spot is confirmed. The email includes a "Manage or Cancel Registration" button that opens a signed, expiring page where they can cancel if their plans change. Previously a paid guest received no email at all and had no way to reach the self-cancel page, even though it already existed.
Guests can now cancel a club registration before paying, right from their confirmation email.
When someone registers a child for a club through your public sign-up page, the "complete your payment" email they receive now includes a secondary "Manage or cancel this registration" link alongside the Complete Payment button. Previously the self-cancel page existed but the link to reach it was never delivered, so a guest who changed their mind before paying had no way to back out. The new link is a low-emphasis option below the primary payment call-to-action and uses a signed, expiring URL.
Free transcript builder now shows a percentage-to-letter grade scale.
Families who track grades as percentages can now see exactly which letter grade each percentage maps to, right inside the transcript builder. A new collapsible "What letter grade is my percentage?" reference shows the full standard scale (A+ = 96.5–100, down to F = 0–59.49) with the GPA points each grade earns, plus a worked example. A helper link beneath the Final Grade dropdown in the Add Course modal opens the chart so you can look up a conversion without losing your place. This is an informational reference only — grades are still entered as letters, and GPA math and PDF output are unchanged.
Fixed: shared club capacity now counts outside guests so clubs can't be over-subscribed.
When a club fills up with outside guest sign-ups, students and parents registering through the school portal are now correctly placed on the waitlist instead of pushing the club over its participant limit. Previously the portal registration path only counted other portal registrations and was blind to guest sign-ups, so a shared club could exceed its set capacity. A club's participant limit is now a hard ceiling across both the school portal and public guest registration.
Cumulative GPA now appears prominently at the top of the free transcript PDF.
If you used the free transcript builder, your student's GPA was being calculated correctly, but it only showed up in a small line near the bottom of the page — easy to miss, and not where college admissions officers expect to find it. A parent flagged this after assuming the GPA hadn't been calculated at all.
Now "Cumulative GPA: 3.80 (Unweighted)" and "Total Credits: 5.00" appear directly below the student name and graduation date, right where a transcript should show them. The math is unchanged; this is purely a visual placement fix. If the GPA can't be calculated (for example, every course is marked Pass), the field shows an em-dash rather than a missing value.
If you already generated a PDF before this change, just regenerate it from your transcript link to pick up the new layout.
Class reports no longer crash when a subject has no grades entered.
If you tried to generate a class report PDF for a subject that didn't have any graded assignments—like an attendance-tracking subject or a class where you haven't entered grades yet—the download would fail with an error. You'd click the button and get nothing.
That's fixed. Those reports now generate cleanly and show "N/A" in the Final Grade column for any student who doesn't yet have grades in that subject. The rest of the PDF—the student roster, assignment list, and category breakdown—still prints exactly as expected.
