Calculating course grades

Note: When you use Calculate Course Grades to do the course grade calculation, all blank scores are converted to zeros. This process is irreversible.

To calculate course grades:

1. In your site's menubar, click Gradebook.
   
   
2. Near the top, click Course Grades.
   
   
3. Below the Grading Table, click Calculate Course Grades.
   
   
4. On the confirmation page, click Continue.

   Note: This action is irreversible; however, you can use the "Grade Override" column to manually override the calculated course grade.

   You will receive a confirmation that course grades have been calculated.

Exporting course grades

To export course grades:

1. In your site's menubar, click Gradebook.
   
   
2. Near the top, click Course Grades.
   
   
3. Use the "View" drop-down list to view specific groups or sections, or use the search field to find specific students.

   Note: The resulting export file will reflect the view options you select. It will contain only the information that is visible on the page.

4. To export course grades to a file, click either Export Course Grades as CSV or Export Course Grades for Excel. Your browser will prompt you to open the file or save it to your computer.

   Note: The default filename format for your export file will be course_grade_[courseID]__date.*. The exported fields and the names of the .xls and .csv column headers are "Student Name", "Student ID", and "CourseGrade".
