Where Do Grades Come From?

In-Progress grades are calculated based on the student's assignment scores. Grades are calculated based on the Grade Calc Options established by the teacher or for the course or course master.

Grades are posted by the teacher via the Grade Book, the Progress Monitor. or the Post Grades tool. Other staff at the school, like counselors or administrative staff, may also record grades for students using the Grading by Task or Grading by Student tools in Scheduling.

Grades cannot be modified via this Grades tool.
