Locating your Grades Journey Columns

Grades Journey weighted columns that start with SEQ are named based on information that's automatically transferred from SITS. They will also have a sequence number, depending on the number of assessment components in SITS, numbered 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, and so on.

An example of an assessment component is as follows: CWN stands for "coursework by name". Therefore, the completed column name will appear as SEQ 001 - CWN.

How to find your Grades Journey (SEQ) columns in the Gradebook

When the SEQ columns have been created, you can find them within either the Markable Items or Marks view of the Gradebook. Look for the columns titled in the format SEQ 001 - CWN.

You can now manage items from two views:  Grid View (Marks) and List View (Markable Items)

Use the toggle to choose between Gradebook screens

  • SITS will provide the description for the assignment.
