Step-By-Step

  1. From your course’s left-hand navigation bar, select Grade Center > Full Grade Center
  2. Scroll horizontally through your Grade Center to locate the grade column that you would like to modify
  3. To manually enter a student’s grade, click on the cell that corresponds with the student’s name and the appropriate grade column. Type the student’s score into the cell, and hit the [Enter] key on your keyboard to save your changes:

    4. Add score to grade column

  4. You can continue down the student list, adding student scores and hitting your [Enter] key to move to the next cell:

    5. Input student grades

  5. Note that you may revise any student’s score by clicking directly on their score and entering a corrected score into the cell. Make sure to hit [Enter] after updating the score to preserve your changes.
