Import Gradebook Scores for New Students

Use this procedure to populate scores for assignments due before a student was added to your class. For example, use this option for a student 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 for the assignments or import scores from assignments from a class the student has dropped.

If you can import scores for assignments due before the student enrolled in the class, the Gradebook displays an amber dot next to a student's name. It continues to display until a score has been entered for one of the assignments due before the student's add date.

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 setting is located in the menu path: Administration, Mark Reporting Setup, MR Building Config Page, Teacher Access panel, and Allow Score Entry Before Enrollment checkbox. 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, an assignment worth 10 points will be calculated as: 10 *.85=8.5.

1. From Gradebook, select Entry to display the Gradebook Entry page.

2. If you are in SBGB Summary Mode, click GB Entry mode or SBGB Detail mode on the mode selector.

3. Click the amber dot next to the student's name.

4. On the Import Scores dialog window, select Enter Walk in Grade of.

5. Enter the percentage numeric value to import to the student's assignments due before the course add date. For example, to indicate the student should have an 85% score, enter 85.
