Removing Associations to the Grade Book

The following article details how to remove associations between gradable activities and the Grade Book.

Please note that the course layout, steps, and screenshots shown below may differ slightly for your campus.

Removing an association between a course activity and the Grade Book must be done before the associated grade item can be deleted.  This can also be done for grades that you do not want appearing in your Grade Book.

Removing Associations for Assignments

1. Navigate to the Assignments area of your course. Click the chevron next to the title of the assignment you would like to separate from the Grade Book and select Edit Assignment.
    
2. Click where it says In Grade Book to access your options. Not In Grade Book will keep any recorded grades in the Assignments area but will remove the association from the Grade Book. Reset to Ungraded will completely remove the possible points associated with the activity along with any grades that have been recorded while also removing the association from the Grade Book.
   
    
3. Once you have selected your preferred option, click Save and Close. The association with the Grade Book has now been removed.
