Releasing Final Grades to Students - Instructor

Step 1: After you log in to your course in D2L, select Grades from the navigation bar.

Note: Final grades are not auto released to students. Students do not see the Final Calculated Grade until it is released. Before you release Final Grades in D2L, make sure that the Final Calculated Grade is up to date, and you have made your Final Adjustments.

If Final Grades are not automatically updating (if you see the calculator icon), you will need to change the Grade Calculation settings.

Step 2: Select Settings in the upper right area of the Grades page.

Step 3: Select Calculation Options.

Step 4: Under the Grade Calculations section, select Automatically keep final grades updated and select Save to complete your changes.

Making Final Adjustments and Releasing Final Grades

Step 1: From the Enter Grades page, if necessary, scroll over to Final Calculated Grade.

Step 2: To make final adjustments before releasing the grades, select Enter Grades from the Final Calculated Grade dropdown menu.

Step 3: This will take you to the Final Grades page. Transfer the Final Calculated Grade to the Final Adjusted Grade by using the arrow icons.

Step 4: Select the top checkbox to select all students’ names.

Step 5: Select Release/Unrelease. This releases final grades to students.

Note: Releasing Final Grades in D2L does NOT release the grades in Banner. You will still have to enter grades in Banner separately.
