About
In Brightspace courses, exempted items—such as assignments, quizzes, or tests—do not affect a student’s total grade calculation. Instructors may choose to exempt grades for various reasons. This guide explains two methods students can use to check if an item has been marked as exempt.
Instruction
Method 1: View Exemptions Through Lessons
- Access the Brightspace course.
- From the navigation bar, tap Course Activities and then select Lessons.
- Expand the relevant unit title to view the associated assignments, quizzes, and tests.
- Exempted items will display the word "Exempt" directly below their title.
Method 2: View Exemptions Through Grades
- Access the Brightspace course.
- From the navigation bar, tap Course Tools and then select Grades.
- Scroll through the Gradebook page to locate exempted items:
- In the "Points" column, exempt items will display as “-/-”.
- In the "Grade" column, the word "Exempt" will appear next to the item.
