_Student::calculate_cumulative_hours_and_gpa function This function will look at the courses which the student has taken, to calculate the cumulative hours and gpa, rather than just load them from the db table.
_Student::determine_terms_to_hide_grades function This is a stub function. If you are planning on hiding course grades for a term at a time, you should override this method in /custom/classes and place that logic here.
_Student::get_degree_plan function Returns a student's degree plan object.
_Student::get_major_and_track_code function Enter description here... Returns the major code and trackCode, if it exists in this form: MAJOR|CONC_TRACK Though usually it will be: MAJR|_TRCK Asumes you have already called "load_settings()";
_Student::get_rank_description function Given a rank_code like FR, SO, etc., get the english description. For example: Freshman, Sophomore, etc.
