Set up Attendance Grading

Attendance will add a single Grade Item to Gradebook when configured for grading. Scores from Attendance will automatically update in Gradebook every five minutes (on the hour).

The attendance grade will be determined by Gradebook's settings. Attendance cannot direct Gradebook to lower a student’s overall grade when a set number of absences has been reached.
