How do I give the same score (e.g., 0) to all students with no submission for an assessment?

Updated on

By default, students with No Submission to an assessment will have a blank, or null, grade. The assessment will not count in their final grade until a grade has been entered for them. You can assign the same grade, such as 0, to all students who did not submit an assessment.

Warning: Once a grade has been saved for a student in Tests & Quizzes, you cannot delete the grade to remove it from the student's course grade.  

Go to Tests & Quizzes.

Tests & Quizzes button in site Tool Menu

Select Tests & Quizzes from the site Tool Menu.

Select the Closed (Published) view.

Select the Closed (Published) option in the View dropdown to view the assessments that have been released to students and closed from accepting further submissions.

Go to the assessment submissions.

Select the Scores option from the dropdown menu for the assessment to grade.

Alternately, select the numeral of student submissions in the Submitted column to view the submissions. Only non-zero numerals are linked to submissions.

Enter a score to assign to all students with No Submission.

Enter a point value (e.g., 0) in the box to Apply this score to all participants with "No Submission."

Select Apply This Score.

Selecting Apply this score saves the change to the score of ALL students with No Submission. You do not need to select Update to confirm saving the score.

Warning: Once a grade has been saved for a student in Tests & Quizzes, you cannot delete the grade to remove it from the student's course grade.  

View scores.

All students with No Submission will have the selected score entered in the grade Adjustment box, and it will be their Final Score.
