Gradebook and Grading System

You define categories (Homework, Exams, Projects) with percentage weights (30%, 50%, 20%). The system automatically calculates category averages, then weights them to produce the final grade. Individual assignments are categorized at creation.

Teachers can enter final grade overrides when circumstances warrant. Override entries include reason documentation. The original calculated grade remains visible alongside the override for transparency.

Configure incomplete grade policies at the institutional level. Incompletes can be entered with deadline dates. The system tracks incompletes and can automatically convert to failing grades if deadlines pass without completion.

Yes, category configuration includes options to drop the lowest N grades before calculating category averages. The system automatically identifies and excludes lowest scores from calculations.

Grading periods can be locked after final submission. Post-lock changes require administrator approval. Complete audit trails document all changes with justifications.

With Enterprise edition and portal access, students see current grades as soon as teachers enter them. Real-time visibility eliminates surprises and enables students to track their own progress.

Transfer credits and grades can be entered with appropriate semester and credit information. The system can include or exclude transfer grades from GPA calculation based on institutional policy.
