NOTE:

  • Final grades are visible to students and other users once the grade has been published. Prior to this, grades are only visible to people who have administrator level permission.

  • When a grade has been published and you need to change that grade, you must unpublish the grade first, then change the grade and save it, and then publish that grade.
