- To drop a student's lowest grade, begin by clicking Grades from your course navbar. From the "Enter Grades" tab, locate the student, then click the down arrow to the right of their name, and select Bulk edit exemptions from the dropdown menu.
- Within the "Edit Grade Exemptions" page, select the grade item you wish to exempt the student from, then click the Save and Close button.
The grade item will now display as exempt in the student's grade calculations.
Important Note: If your gradebook is configured to drop ungraded items rather than assign zeros, exempting a grade item will affect the overall grade calculation.
For example: Student, Ed Spartan scored 1 out of 9 points on "Homework 1," resulting in a grade of 12/28 total points. Once the student is exempted from "Homework 1," the total points change from 12/28 to 11/19, as Brightspace treats the exempted item as ungraded.
