Troubleshooting

If a student has questions about how their grade is displaying, preview the student’s grades. 
What is unexpected?

• Is the grade published?
  • How do I release grades to students?

• If some grade items are missing, the grade items may be date restricted.

  • Check for clock icon in Assessment->Grades->Manage Grades
    • Edit the grade item’s time Restrictions

• If your quizzes are not automatically grading, check quiz restrictions and publication status.

  • How do I identify why my quizzes do not automatically show in Grades?
  • How do I publish quiz grades?

• How do I see dropped students’ grades?

• How can I get the grades of one student in a format that I can share?

• If you do not have the option to expand your Grades to view your complete class, you have too many grade items.

  • There is a Max limit for how much data can be displayed on the screen. The more grade items you have in the grade book the less amount of students can be displayed at once.

• • You can work around this by hiding some of the grade columns. So if you aren’t working on the last two units in your course right now, hide those units (More Actions -> Hide/Show Columns) and you should be able to see more students in the list.
