Answer 1

IF RS.Fields("StudentStatus").Value="" then
    IF rs.Fields.Item("fieldname").Value>="2.00" then
           ....
    End if
Else If ....
    ....
Else
    ....
End IF

Answer 2

The error message contains the answer you are looking for:

Expected 'Then'

Add the 'then' where it expects it: /project2/check_status.asp, line 109, column 50

After that I would recommend reading Read error messages, understand them and write your own
