How do I hide a grade until all students submit their quizzes?

Instructors can decide to hide a grade in the grade book while they are marking the work of their students and then make that grade visible again once the process is complete. Instructors might have other reasons for wanting to hide a grade temporarily from the class, and this post demonstrates the steps involved in doing that.

1. From the top blue navigation bar, go to Grades.
2. Select the Manage Grades tab beside Enter Grades.
3. Next, select the check box next to the grade item that you want to temporarily hide.
4. At the top of the list, click More Actions.
5. From the drop-down menu, select Hide from Users and Save your changes.
   

   In the Manage Grades tab, check the checkbox beside the grade item you want to hide. In More Actions, select Hide from Users.

Note that while the steps above will hide a grade item in the grade book, the grade will still be available to students if they navigate directly to an activity that is associated with the hidden grade item, such as a quiz or assignment. In order to fully hide a grade from the class, you’ll also need to hide the activity associated with it. To hide an activity from students, access Course Tools from the navigation bar and select the type of activity you would also like to hide (Assignment or Quiz). Once in the list of assignments or quizzes in your course, find the activity you want to hide, expand the ‘v’ menu next to it, and then select Hide from Users. After this, the grade will be fully hidden from the class.

For students to be able to see their grades, the processes described above have to be reverted – both the grade item and the activity associated with it have to be made visible.

1. 1. From the top blue navigation bar, go to Grades.
   2. Select Manage Grades.
   3. Next, select the check box next to the grade item that you want to make visible.
   4. At the top of the list, click More Actions.
   5. From the drop-down menu, select Make Visible to Users and Save your changes.

In the Manage Grades tab, check the checkbox beside the grade item you want to unhide. In More Actions, select Make Visible to Users. Users.

Next make sure to navigate to the activity in question by going into Course Tools from the navigation bar and selecting the type of activity you would like to make visible (Assignment or Quiz). Once in the list of assignments or quizzes in your course, find the activity you want to show, expand the ‘v’ menu next to it, and then select Make Visible to Users. Now the grade will be fully visible to the class.

Note that you can set Submission Views to customize what students will see when accessing a completed quiz after grades have been published, such as right answers or question feedback. For more information on that, please visit this post.
