This article is for faculty and staff seeking information regarding hiding the default total column from students.

Two calculated columns are created automatically in each HuskyCT site. One is Weighted Total, which does not perform any calculations until edited by the instructor. The other, Total, is set by default to add all grade columns in the Grade Center which has resulted in some confusion for students. We recommend deleting or editing this column’s properties so it does not perform a calculation and it does not appear in the My Grades list or in any other types of grade notifications.

  1. Click on the gray down arrow at the top of the Total column with the green checkmark.
    Note: The green checkmark indicates an Outside Grade Column, which is a Grade Center requirement.

    Edit column information option.

  2. Click Edit Column Information. 
    Note: Hide from Instructor View does not hide the Total column from student view in the My Grades tool. It only hides the column from the instructor view of the Grade Center.

  3. Locate the Show this Column to Students option. Change the setting from Yes to No.

    Show column to students option.

  4. Click Submit.
