Helpful Not Helpful
Question

In D2L Brightspace, how do include Vantage assignments in the final grade calculation?



Solution

By default, D2L Brightspace will exclude Vantage assignments from the final grade when they are added to the course in your LMS. You will need to update settings for each assignment you want included in the final grade.

You can confirm whether the assignment will be included or excluded by going to Grades > Manage Grades.


Under the Grades page, go to Manage Grades to check the status of assignments.


If the assignment is being excluded, an exclamation point follows the item name. Please note that the Bulk Edit function does not work to update the Vantage assignment settings to include these items for a grade. You will make the change elsewhere.


Grade items that are excluded from the final grade will have an exclamation point following the assignment's title. While there is a Bulk Edit option on this page, it does not work to change the Vantage assignment settings. You will make the change elsewhere.


To make sure the assignments are included in the final grade, go back to the Enter Grades tab.


On the Grades page, go back to the Enter Grades tab.
