Introduction to Section Gradebooks Each course section comes with its own section gradebook. This gradebook automatically populates with your students’ grades and allows you to manage student grades. Your account admin oversees the permissions for gradebook. You may or may not have access to some of the features discussed here. If you have questions about gradebook permissions, contact your account administrator or Customer Support.
Gradebook improves student progress monitoring and gives you powerful tools for tracking credit, editing grades, and adding optional categories. If your school used Grade Tracker and your course sections were created before August 28th, 2017, you will see notifications within Courseware telling you that an update is available. These updates contain further information. We recommend you upgrade as soon as possible for the best Gradebook experience.

Adjust Categories and Weights All Edmentum courses come pre-loaded with the recommended categories and weights. You do not need to manually adjust category weights unless you want to change these settings. If you are unable to adjust categories and weights, this means the account administrator has turned off the ability to adjust categories and weights.
Adjusting categories and weights allows you to change how much influence a type of activity has on students’ grades. You can also set all categories to equal weights or remove the weighting.
1. From the My Course Sections page, click the Open Gradebook icon to the right of the course section name.
The course gradebook opens in a new tab.
