How to Organize, Hide/Unhide, and Delete Multiple Grade Center Columns

Use these steps to rearrange the order of or delete unwanted grade center columns (Bonus tip: this will also show you any previously hidden grade center columns).

1. In your course shell, click to expand the Grade Center section of your Control Panel and select Full Grade Center.

2. Within the Full Grade Center click the Manage drop-down button and choose Column Organization.

3. The following are available options presented on the Column Organization page: 

  • Each column in the Grade Center grid becomes a row. For example, the Last Name column in the grid becomes the Last Name row on the Column Organization page. The first column in the grid is the first row on this page. The order of rows on this page is the same as the order of columns in the grid.
  • On this page, you can organize the Grade Center columns in these ways:
    • Reorder columns by clicking on their corresponding four-headed arrow and dragging-dropping them to a new location.
    • Freeze or unfreeze columns in the first table. If you freeze a column, it remains stationary when you scroll through the Grade Center view.
    • Hide or show multiple columns by selecting the column(s) and choosing the Hide/Show option.
    • Change a grade column's category (this is used for weighted grade calculations).
    • Select and delete multiple grade center columns that are not linked to graded items within the course (Note: you will not be able to delete any columns that are associated with something that still exists in the class, for example, an assignment in a weekly folder--to remove those columns you need to delete the associated item first).
