Recording Extra Credit
To record extra credit on a specific gradebook assessment, simply enter more points than the possible number of points allotted for the gradebook assessment. You will receive a popup message as a warning that the number of points you are entering exceed the total possible points. Press “Ok” to save the grade.

Alternatively, if extra credit does not belong to any particular gradebook assessment, you can create a new gradebook assessment and set the possible points amount to zero. Adding any grade above a zero to this type of gradebook assessment will provide students with extra credit.

Note: Extra credit will be calculated based on your gradebook set up. For instance, same number of extra credit points in a higher weighted gradebook category will impact the overall grade more than a lower weighted gradebook category.
