Deleting a Grade Item

Before deleting any grade items, be sure to verify that this is the correct option for you. Deleting items includes deleting all associated grades, removal from calculations, and removal from other tool associations. Consider hiding the items instead. If you have decided that you would like to delete, be sure that you have selected the intended grade items and that there are no associated grades that are needed.

To delete a Grade Item from your Grade Book, follow these steps:

1. In your Grade Book, go to the "Manage Grades" tab
2. Choose "More Actions"
3. Select "Delete"
   
4. Choose the grade items you wish to remove
5. Click the "Delete" button
   

Disassociating a Grade Item

If you are unable to select a Grade Item to delete from the Grade Book, it is most likely because the Grade Item is associated with a Discussion, Assignment, or Exam/Quiz. In the "Association" column in the Manage Grades tab, you will see which association the Grade Item has.
