If you use a daily gradebook, the program calculates your marking column grades. You can edit the marking column grades in preparation for posting to Registrar’s Office. Do not edit the marking column grade until all assignment grades are completely entered. If the marking column average changes, the value overwrites your previously edited marking column grade.
Tip: Before you enter grades, we recommend you set the number of decimals to use in calculation averages. To set the decimals, from the navigation bar, under Options, click General. Under Decimal precision, select the decimal places to use. If you change the decimal precision after you enter grades, existing calculated averages do not automatically update. You need to update a grade for each student in each category to update the decimal precision.
We recommend you maintain numeric marking column grades in your gradebook. Your administrator in Registrar's Office can set up numeric grades to post as letter grades based on the associated translation table. To view what the letter grade is for a numeric grade, include the Marking Column Letter Grade column in the grid. For information about how to customize your grade entry grid, see Enter Grades by Class.
If you do not use a daily gradebook, you can manually enter category averages and marking column grades before you mark your classes as ready for the registrar. The program automatically updates your marking column average grades based on what you enter for category averages. We recommend, you manually enter category average grades first and if needed, update your marking column grades. For information about how to mark your grades ready for the registrar to post to Registrar's Office, see Mark Grades as Ready for the Registrar.
