Question

How do I edit grades in my Vantage gradebook?

Solution

You can quickly get to the gradebook for any course by locating that course on your My Courses dashboard and opening the Gradebook page.

You can access your Vantage gradebook from the course tile on your My Courses dashboard.

If you are already in another area of your Vantage course, you can easily get to the Gradebook from the top navigation menu.

If you are in another tab of your course, you can use the top navigation menu to access the Gradebook tab.

You can manually edit grades for any assignment in the gradebook by clicking Edit Grades.

This image shows the tool menu at the top left of the gradebook. The third option is "Edit Grades."

Before moving to the edit screen, a pop-up message asks you to confirm that you want to edit grades. Click OK to proceed or Cancel to return to the gradebook without making edits.

When you choose to edit grades in the gradebook, a pop-up message asks you to confirm that you want to edit grades. You can continue or cancel from this pop-up.

If an assignment is assigned for completion and not yet completed, you can mark it complete. If the assignment is already marked complete (shows a purple circle), you cannot change it. Locate the assignment column for the student's assignment you want to edit.

This images shows assignments for completion in the gradebook when editing grades. A cell that has no attempts (grey dash) is highlighted.

Click inside the textbox for the assignment. A checkbox appears that you can tick to mark the assignment complete.

This images shows assignments for completion in the gradebook when editing grades. Clicking a cell that has no attempts will change the cell to an empty checkbox and "Complete?"

Once you click the checkbox, a green check appears in it. The assignment will also be flagged with a yellow bar indicating it is "Instructor Modified."

To edit the grade of an assignment for completion, click the checkbox for "Complete?" to mark the assignment complete for a student. Once you check the box, the grade is underlined with a yellow bar.

To edit graded assignments, locate the student and assignment you want to edit. Click inside the textbox to add the grade. You can enter a score if none exists or edit an existing score. Once you make a change, the assignment is flagged with the yellow bar.

Assignments for a grade can be edited regardless of the status (attempted or not attempted). Click in the box for the grade you want to edit and add a grade (if there are no attempts) or edit the existing grade. When you make an edit, a yellow bar appears at the bottom of the cell.

Once you have finished with your gradebook edits, click Save Grades at the top of the page.

At the top of the gradebook, click "Save Grades" to save any edits you make in the gradebook.

Once you click "Save Grades," a pop-up message asks you to confirm your gradebook edits. Click Save to keep the changes to your gradebook or Cancel to return to editing the gradebook.

A pop-up window appears when you save any grade edits you have made. This pop-up asks you to confirm the edits by clicking Save. You can also cancel out to exit without saving changes.

Once you save the changes, the edited grades are flagged with a yellow bar and a red X. If you want to remove an edit, click the red X to restore it to its pre-edited state.

Any edited assignments will have a yellow bar underneath them in the gradebook to show they are instructor-modified. To remove an edit, click the red X next to the grade or completion circle.

When you remove the edits made to a grade, it goes back to the state it was in before you made the edits.

Once you are on the Edit Grades page, if you change your mind about making edits, you can Cancel before you commit to any changes. Cancelling does not save any edits you might have made to the gradebook.

If you are editing grades, and need to exit without saving changes, click Cancel at the top of the page.
