How do I publish final grades for a moderated assignment?

A moderated assignment supports up to two provisional grades and one  moderator grade. However, provisional grades are not included in the  Gradebook and are only visible to moderators. Students cannot view any  comments or grades until the grade is posted. You can either select  grades directly in the Moderate page or you can select grades when  reviewing the moderated assignment submission and comments.

Note: Once a grade is published, the grade in the  Moderate page cannot be changed; all content is considered read-only for  historical reference. However, grades can still be changed in the  Gradebook.

1. Open Assignments

In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.

2. Open Assignment

Click the title of the assignment.

3. Open Moderate Page

Click the Moderate button.

Note: Your assignment must be published before you can add students to the moderation set.

4. Confirm Final Grades

Confirm all students have received a grade by a grader.

If a student does not yet have a final grade, you can apply a grade  by accepting grades for a grader or using the Final Grade drop-down menu  to assign a grade.

To select a final grade for each student, click the Final Grade drop-down menu and select the grader's name [1].

To select all the grades as final grades, click the Accept button [2]. Once selected, the Grade Summary page confirms the grades have been accepted.

Notes:

  • If the Accept button is grayed out, or if the assignment does not  display the Accept button at all, one or more submissions have been  graded by multiple graders and includes grading conflicts that you must  resolve manually.
  • Accepting grades for a grader cannot be undone. However, you can  change a final grade assigned to a student by assigning a custom grade,  if needed.
  • Any annotations and rubrics that were not selected become inaccessible once the grade is released.
