There may be instances where a specific grade should be excluded from grade average calculations for a student. For example, your school's grading policy may state that if a student retakes a course, only the most recent grade is included in grade average calculations.
All grades are included in grade average calculations by default, but a Grading Manager can exclude a student's grade from calculations by disabling the Include in grade averages designation for that grade.
Note: Include in grade averages is only available via Enter grades by students in Grades & Credits. It is not available in Enter grades by class and it is not available for Grades & Credits - Dropped or Grades and Credits - Transfer.
