Find the right course and student
Open Grades or the instructor gradebook within the section. Use activity-type filters and student search to narrow the table without changing the underlying records.
Review score states
Read the grade alongside submission status and any late or excused state. An empty score is not automatically a zero. Follow the app’s displayed score-state guidance.
Make deliberate adjustments
Use the relevant grading controls to enter scores or adjust supported grade options. Review late-policy settings in their own dialog and confirm the save before continuing.
Prepare final grades
Use final-grade closeout separately from daily grade editing. Review the computed results and submit them for school approval where required. Administrators complete the approval workflow.
