Required if a Term Grade exists. Contained in this element will be the MarkInfoRefId that represents the relevant grade for the term associated with this particular object.

The relevant grade or “report card” grade for the term (TermInfoRefId) associated with this object should be identified by placing the MarkInfoRefId from the MarkList in this ExtendedElement. If a relevant grade does not exist, then the SIF_ExtendedElement does not have to be supplied. The format for the RefId should contain no spaces or hyphens.
