How do I override a course grade in Gradebook?

Updated on

Notes: 

  • When manually entering a course grade, use the appropriate grade type for the Gradebook schema you have selected. For example, if the course is graded on a simple letter grade scale, enter the letters A, B, C, D, F  as well as +  (plus sign) or  -  (minus sign) to the letter grade. If the course is graded on a Pass/Not pass scale, enter the letters P or N.
  • If a numeric value for the override is entered, the value will be mapped to the letter grade scale. For example, if the letter grade scale is set so the minimum % for an A grade is 95, then entering a numerical value of 97 will be mapped to 95%.
