Import Gradebook Scores for New Students

/Use this procedure to populate scores for assignments that were due before a student was added to your class. For example, use this option for a student who is added to your class three weeks into the marking period to enter scores for the assignments you collected in those three weeks. You can enter a walk-in grade to use for the assignments or import scores from assignments from a class the student has dropped.

If you can import scores for assignments that were due before the student enrolled in the class, Gradebook displays

This feature is available only if your administrator has configured Gradebook to allow teachers to enter scores for assignments where the due date is before the student's add date for the class. This option is supported for courses, not student competency groups. Also, the import is available only if the student's add date is in the marking period that includes today's date.

Import scores based on a walk-in grade

Use this procedure if you want to enter a grade to calculate the assignment scores. The student's score for an assignment will be calculated as: Assignment Points * Walk-in Grade Percentage. For example, if you enter a walk-in grade of 85, then an assignment worth 10 points will be calculated as: 10 *.85=8.5.
