What is the difference between my “current” and “final” grades?

  1. Current Grade: Current grade is the default grade calculated based on the assessments that you have already completed and received a score for. This grade ignores any item that you have not yet completed and reflects how well you are doing on the quizzes and assignments you have completed. Use this grade as a way to track the quality of the work you have submitted.
  2. Final Grade: A calculated grade based on all assessments, both completed and incomplete, in the course. In this calculation, incomplete assessments are calculated as a zero score. This is your true reported grade for the course and displays the grade that you would receive if no further quizzes or assignments were completed.
Once a student's "current" and "final" grades match, it typically indicates that all assignments have been graded and the course has been completed. Please keep in mind that after the course end date, the student's main dashboard may take 1-2 weeks to reflect their true final score.
