Set Up Weighted Total Columns

A weighted total column allows you to use Grade Center columns and categories to calculate student grades. If you already have a Weighted Total column, skip to step 3.

1. Hover over Create Calculated Column, and select Weighted Column. 
   
2. Enter a column Name and click Submit. 
   
   
3. Click on the Action Link for the Weighted Total columns and select Edit Column information. 
   
4. Scroll to select a category or column you would like to include in your calculation, and click the right-pointing arrow to add the category to the Selected Columns space. 
   
5. Enter the percentage for the category or column in the final grade. 
   
6. Continue to add categories or individual columns to reach 100%.
   
7. If you want the column to only reflect those items that have already been graded, keep Running Total set to Yes. Note, you will need to manually assign zeros for missed work.
   If you want all work (including work that has not been turned in) assigned a zero until it has been graded, select No. 
   
8. Click Submit.
