• When looking at your grades, always check the column labeled "SCORE".

   

• The number one mistake when looking at grades through Home Access Center, is that people look at the column marked "PERCENTAGE".

   

• Even if an assignment is not graded, your percentage will read 0.00%.

   

• The "SCORE" column will let you know whether or not you actually have a zero.
   
  Listed below is a key to help you understand values other than numbers that may appear in the "SCORE" column:

A = Absent on the day of the assignment
This does not affect your average unless you fail to make up your assignment on time at which point, the grade is turned into a Z. 

Z = Late but still accepted for late credit
This counts like a 0.00 until the assignment is turned in.

X = Exempt from the assignment
This is either a drop grade or something that cannot be made up. This does not and will not affect your average.

^ = Collected and checked but not yet graded 
This means I have checked to make sure you have turned in you work, but I have not yet entered a grade. This does not affect your average.

BLANK = Not yet collected, not yet checked, and/or not yet graded
