Overview

This article explains what to do if a QN/EAP Mismatch warning icon is displayed on the Grades Management page. This occurs when a qualification is matched to an EAP using an incorrect grade structure. This could be because of the selection of:

• An incorrect QN/Qual Title.
• An incorrect EAP.
• The selection of the wrong grade method in your EAP.

See Sisra Analytics: Grades Management (Admin) for information about other warning icons.
