- In the Administration block in the upper-left corner, click Gradebook setup.
- Click Letters.
- Review the letters and edit as necessary. Refer to this page if your scale is off.
Export an Excel File with your Moodle Grades
- In the "Administration" block in the upper-left corner, click Gradebook setup.
- The Administration block will now be for Grade administration. Scroll down and click Export, then select UI Text Export.
