How can I change how grades are displayed?

Grades may be displayed as as actual grades, as percentages (in reference to the minimum and maximum grades) or as letters.

The default grade display type for the site is set by an administrator in Administration > Grades > Grade item settings. However, this may be changed at course level.

To change how grades are displayed for particular grade items, or category and course summaries (called aggregations):

  1. Follow the grades link in the course administration block.
  2. Select “Categories and items” from the gradebook dropdown menu.
  3. Click the edit icon for the grade item, category total or course total.
  4. From the Grade display type menu, select real (for actual grades), percentage or letter.
  5. Click the “Save changes” button at the bottom of the page.

Alternatively, to change how grades are displayed for the whole course:

  1. Follow the grades link in the course administration block.
  2. Select “Course settings” from the gradebook dropdown menu.
  3. From the Grade display type menu, select real (for actual grades), percentage or letter.
  4. Click the “Save changes” button.
