An instructor can manually override a student’s submitted attempt grade.
From the student submission view
Please see Overring a mark in an individual question for both overriding a single question and the final grade.
From the list view
You can override a student’s grade from either the Gradable item tab or Student tab.
- In the Gradebook, select the title of the assessment you would like to override. The assessment submission page will open up.
- On the assessment submission page, locate the student’s grade you would like to override.
- Under the grade column, select the grade pill and change the grade. Delete the previous grade and enter the new grade. When you click away, it will automatically save.
From the grid view
- In the Gradebook, select the cell in which you want to override. Delete the previous grade and enter the new grade. When you exit, it will automatically save. To post the grade to the student, select Post.
- However, if you override the final grade without grading the submission (multiple submissions require grading for each submission), the New Submission notification in the Gradebook will not disappear.
- Ensure that each submission has a grade. For an Assignment without questions, you can enter the grade directly into the submission’s grade pill.
Overriding Overall Grade
Unless there is an exceptional reason to do so, it is not recommended to override Overall Grade. Once you do this, it stops calculating Overall Grade and what you entered will remain. When you override Overall Grade, the grade pill turns to gray.
To revert override, simply click the pill, then select “Undo Override”.
