ANGEL Tip – Copying Your Gradebook Settings

If you need to copy your Gradebook settings from one course or section to another, but you don’t want to copy the whole course, you can use a handy tool called the Copy Gradebook Settings tool.

Go to a course that does NOT already have your Gradebook set up. Click on the Manage tab and then on the Gradebook link. Then click on the Preferences link. At the top of this screen, there is a link to the Copy Gradebook Settings tool. Click on the link.

Be sure you are in a course that does NOT already have the settings you want! Note the warning text at the top of the screen: “This tool will erase current settings and replace them with settings from the selected course. Use with caution! There is no way to get back your settings after replacing them.”

From the drop-down menu, choose the course that has the Gradebook settings that you want. Select which items you want to copy (you probably want to select all of them). Click the Copy Settings button. That’s it – you’re done!
