The widget displays each Course in a Pathway and the individual History for that Student. This information displays whether or not the Students are currently scheduled or have transcript records in these particular Courses. It displays the Course title, number, and Course Level (CCP.LVL). The Grade, Credits completed, Year, and Term are pulled from the Student's transcript. The Current Course column shows if the Course is currently in the Student's Class Schedule (SEC). 

Any Completer Course (CCP.LVL = 03)  with a grade less than a "C-" appears in red.

Any Pathway Course, regardless of its Level, appears in red if the Student has earned zero (0) credits.
