Add Extra Credit

You cannot make an item extra credit at the time you are creating it. You must first create a gradebook item or the Moodle activity you want to use as extra credit, then follow the steps below. 

1.  Click Gradebook setup from the "Grades" menu of the Course
   • 
2.  Locate the grade item or activity you want to make extra credit and select Edit settings from the "Edit" drop-down.
   • 
3. In the settings, check the Extra credit checkbox in the "Parent category" section. If you see the not allowed cursor when trying to check the extra credit box, try choosing a "Grade category."
   • 
4. Click Save Changes.
5. You now have an extra credit item, as denoted by the + symbol in the "Max grade" column. Note that the available points in the max grade column will no longer be counted in the sum total of points available.
