h2. Approving Grades in the Gradebook {bgcolor}

Once a [Gradebook|Using the Gradebook] grade is approved, it is displayed in the student's [Grade Report|Previewing the Sample Grade Report].

*Note:* For assignments imported into the Gradebook from Homework, the approval takes precedence over the assignment's posting date.

*To approve grades in the Gradebook:*
# Click the Assignments tab in the Gradebook. (Click Gradebook in the navigation bar to open the Gradebook.)
# Click the Title of the assignment for which you are approving grades.
The [Grade Summary/Assignment page|Grade Summary Assignment Page] is displayed.
# Click Approve for each grade to approve.
To approve all grades, click Approve All
# Save Changes

Stellar records the approver's username and date and time of the approval in the grade's history. {info:title=NOTE}
* If an 'X' is entered into a grade field, that grade is ignored and is not counted towards the final grade.
* Grades can be 'cleared' by removing the grade and hitting update.
** Null grades cannot be approved
** Null grades are treated as "not yet entered" in the dashboard and will cause any assignment that contains one to appear in the first column of the dashboard.
** Null grades will appear as 'cleared' in the grade history.{info}\\  {note}
In order for students to view their approved grades *Actual and Original/ Makeup* grades box must be checked in the *Configure* page of the Gradebook, which are by default, displayed to students

*You may also approve grades via spreadsheet and then import them into the gradebook.*
\\
* Export your grades into an excel spreadsheet.  Steps to do this are located at [Exporting Student Grade Information].
* To approve an individual's grade, go to the "Approved" column for that student and change the value from FALSE (unapproved) to TRUE (approved).
* Once you have completed approving grades, import your spreadsheet back in the gradebook.
* Any grades you have approved should automatically have the Grade Status of "Grade Approved".
