Open and Close Grading

The Grading>Grading Process>Open/Close Grading tab allows you to select which grade collections are currently open and available for teachers to post grades for.

If Grading is OPEN, the screen will look like this:

If it is currently open for a specific marking period/collection, and you need to make a change or just close it out, you will need to click the "Close Grading" button first in order to then fix the selections.

You will then see a screen reading "Grade Collection is currently CLOSED."  

If you just needed to close grading, that's all you need to do!

If you needed to make changes on which grade collection should have been open, make that selection, and then click "Open Grading" once more to OPEN grading.

How to Make Changes to the Grade Collection That is Opened

If you need to make a change to the collection open for grading or being asked for, you need to select the marking period in the "Which grading period would you like to open for grade collection" dropdown.  This dropdown contains grade collections flagged as 'Is Grading Period' in Grading>Setup>Collections Modify collection.

And then you check off applicable collections in the "Select collections to ask for" area.

NOTE: The icon next to each collection will bring you directly to the Grading>Setup>Collections>Modify Collection screen when clicked.

Once you have the correct settings selected, click "Open Grading" to allow teachers to post grades.
