h6. What's New

*Spring 2010 Updates:*
* Students can now see make-up grades.
* Actual and original/make-up grades will automatically display to students (settings are configurable).
* Make-up grades can now be exported via spreadsheet.
* When assigning make-up grades, the make-up grade field now auto-populates the "actual" grade field.
* (!) *Actual and make-up grades are not averaged.*
* Instructional text boxes have been made more visible.

h6. The following conditions apply when using the Stellar Gradebook:

* When a student selects the Gradebook navigation link, they will only see their own Grade Report.
* A student cannot view another student's grades.
* Students see only the grades that have been approved by Instructors/TAs.
* (!) *The Gradebook must be configured to hide grades. By default, grades are displayed.*
* Unauthorized users will see an error message if they try to access the Gradebook.
* Graders can not configure the gradebook, approve grades or see assignments that have not been explicitly made available to them.
