Field Descriptions

If your school has assigned a Gradebook category type to the selected course, you may not be able to edit fields on the page. Category types allow your school to pre-define the Gradebook rules for courses. For more information, refer to What Is a Gradebook Category Type?

Categories: Use this tab to select the categories to be used. Your school administrator defines the categories used in Gradebook, such as homework, quizzes, and exams. For each category, you can indicate the default weight of the category when calculating IPR and Report Cards marks. For more information, refer to:
