Why students cannot see the Gradebook’s Course total in UMMoodle?

Student view of the Gradebook

By default, if any grade item is hidden in the Gradebook, the course total will not be visible to students.

To resolve this, you have two options:

1. Unhide specific grade items – Locate and make them visible, or
2. Adjust Gradebook settings – Allow category totals to display while keeping some items hidden.

This guide explains the second method.

Step-by-step tutorial

1. Go to “Grades” and click on “Course grade settings”.
   
2. Scroll down to the “User report” section, change the option “Hide totals if they contain hidden items” to “Show totals excluding hidden items”.
3. Click “Save changes”.
4. Now students can see the course total, excluding hidden grade items.
