Grades Entry

After you set up your gradebook, you are ready to enter grades. From the navigation bar, under Gradebook, you can enter grades by class or by student. If your school uses skills, you can enter skill ratings. You can also enter class notes, view assignment dropbox documents, view NetClassroom, and when ready, mark grades as ready for the registrar. Even if you choose not to set up categories and assignments, you can still enter marking column grades, comments, and skill ratings.

Tip: Grids in Faculty Access for the Web adjust as you change the screen resolution. For example, you can change the resolution from 800 by 600 to 1024 by 768 so you can view more columns and rows in the grid at one time. You can also hide the left navigation bar on the General options page to view even more information.

When you work in Gradebook, here are some important tips:

Enter “M” to designate an assignment as missing. The M equals a zero assignment grade in calculations.
Enter “X” to exempt an assignment grade. The X is ignored and excluded from all calculations.
