Gradebook Overview

The Gradebook helps instructors easily input and distribute grades for students. Grades for each assignment can be calculated as points, percentages, complete or incomplete, pass or fail, grade point average (GPA) scale, and letter grades, and assignments can be organized into groups for weighting as well.

Set Late Policies

The Late Policies tab allows you to apply late policies in your course.

The Missing Submission Policy allows you to automatically apply a grade for submissions labeled as Missing [1]. A submission is labeled Missing when the due date has passed and the assignment has not been submitted.

The Late Submission Policy allows you to automatically apply a defined penalty to submissions with a status of Late [2]. A submission is labeled Late when it is submitted past the due date. Additionally, you can define a threshold under which a student will not be scored, regardless of how late the submission is when submitted.

Create Grade Posting Policies

The Grade Posting Policy tab allows you to change grade posting policies for your course

To automatically post grades and make them visible to students as soon as they are entered, select the Automatically Post Grades option. The posting policy is set to Automatically Post Grades by default.
