[ARCHIVED] Approved absence

[elenamarieabdou]

Is there a way to code an absence as approved?  I have a student who was absent for a religious observance; I don't want his class participation grade to suffer from the absence.

You can simply enter EX as the grade for that student and it will "excuse" that grade for counting for or against the student.

How do I excuse an assignment for a student in the Gradebook?‌
