Change item or assessment marks

There are two ways you can change the marks. The best method depends on how many students and items/assessments you want to change:

• From the Enter Marks screen you can change marks for multiple students, items or assessments
• From the little i button you can change item or assessment marks for one student at a time

Change marks from Enter Marks

You can change marks using any of the mark entry methods available in the Enter Marks screen.

Grid Entry

To change marks in Grid Entry:

1. Select Grid entry from the drop down menu on the item, component or assessment you want to change 
2. Locate the student
3. Type over the mark with the new one
4. Enter or tab out and select a Reason for Changing from the drop down list
5. Store the mark 

For more guidance on using Grid entry please see Grid Entry

Importing marks

You can import a CSV file with new marks in the same way you do when you're importing them for the first time. 

If there are only a couple of students with changed marks your file only needs to include those students with the new marks recorded.

The system will upload all the marks for students on the spreadsheet so if there are some students on the spreadsheet without any mark changes just make sure their original mark is still recorded. 

For more guidance on importing marks please see Import marks

Change marks for an individual student from the little i button

Change provisionally published marks

Publish new asssessment mark provisionally

If you want to publish the new mark provisionlly, after entering the new mark, please unpublish the existing provisional marks for all students, and re-publish the provisional marks for all students.

The student will see their new provisional assessment mark on their student record. Students whose marks were not changed will not be affected.

When re-publishing provisionl marks, if you see an error message stating "The following student mark was different than expected", it means the student in the message had more than one provisional marks published, and your un-publishing only removed the most recently published mark. Please click the Unpublish botton again, and then click Publish again.

For more guidance on publishing and unpublishing provisional marks, please see Provisional marks

Publish new assessment mark as part of the final course result

If you want to publish the new mark as part of the final course result, you do NOT need to unpublish the existing provisional marks.

Instead, please enter the new mark, calculate or re-calculate the student's course result, ratify it, and publish it.

The student will see their course result and new assessment mark on their student record.
