Did you know that students enrolled in Special Programs can be easily identified throughout Q by displaying a program code or symbol?
These visual indicators help authorized users quickly recognize student program participation while respecting permission-based access.
This Q-Tip explains where program codes or display symbols appear in Q and how they are configured, so districts can ensure consistent and accurate visibility across the system.
Where Program Codes or Symbols May Display
- Student Banners
- Class Attendance
- Class Marks
- Gradebook
- Attendance Roster (1-Week and 2-Week Reports)
Important Note on Program Visibility
For program codes or display symbols to appear, a default Display Symbol must be assigned to each program. Programs without a defined Display Symbol will not display a program code or symbol anywhere in Q, even for users with permission to view that program.
Visibility is also permission-based—only users authorized to view specific programs will see the corresponding codes or symbols.
