Important Grade Center Issue for Online Faculty

Please note that a grade MUST be entered into each graded column in the Grade Center for final grades to be calculated correctly.  If you leave the dashes (--) in a graded column, that column will NOT be included in the student's total grade calculation. You must enter a zero if a student does not submit the assignment (test, et al) for that column to be calculated.

Example:  If a student only turns in two assignments for the entire semester but receives the highest number of points on those assignments, the total grade will be calculated as an "A" if there are no other letter grades entered into the missing assignment grade columns and they are left with dashes (--) for a grade where there should be a zero.
