About
The Brightspace Gradebook allows instructors to exempt multiple students from a specific assignment, ensuring that the assignment is excluded from the calculation of their final course grade. To exempt several students from the same assignment, follow the steps outlined below.
Instruction
- First, from your Brightspace course, go to the Grades page.
- Next, scroll to the assignment you want to exempt students from, click the drop-down menu next to the assignment name and then choose Enter Grades.
- Then select the checkbox next to each student’s name that you want to exempt from the assignment and then click Exempt from the options above the table.
- Finally, click Save and Close to apply the changes.
Please note that while exempted assignments will still be visible in each student's Student Learning Portal (SLP) Gradebook, they will not contribute to the overall score calculation. This provides instructors with flexibility in tailoring grade calculations based on individual student circumstances or needs within the course.
