How to Delete Items from the Grade Center

If you find you want to remove something from the Grade Center, whether you added it by accident or no longer will be grading the assignment (for example, if you had to drop an assignment due to lack of time for preparation/inclement weather/etc), you will need to first remove it from your course and then remove from the Grade Center. However, if you manually created the column, you can remove that column from the Grade Center easily, as it will not be attached to any items in the course.

Step-by-Step Guide

How to Delete Items from the Grade Center


To remove an automatically created column from your course

  1. Go to the Content Area where you have placed the item.
  2. Click to open the Contextual Menu for the item, and then click Delete.
    Select Delete from the item's context menu to remove it from the course.
     

If no student submissions exist when you delete the item, the Grade Center column is deleted automatically or you are allowed to decide whether to delete the column. However, when you delete an assignment or SafeAssignment in your course that has student submissions, you must also delete the corresponding column in the Grade Center.

Please Note:  When you remove an item from a content area, make sure you have removed all instances of the item. If the item is a Wiki or a Blog, you may have it linked in another area on your course site.

Once you have removed the item from the content area, you will need to remove the item from the Grade Center. 

  1. In the Control Panel, under Grade Center, click Full Grade Center.

    Select Delete Column from the column's context menu.
