Potential Issues with Grade Overrides

1. Grade calculation discrepancies (grading aggregation issues in the grade book)
   
   1. An overridden grade typically does not update automatically within the total. This can cause issues with the student’s grades not totaling correctly.
      
2. Locked submissions preventing students from re-submitting
   
   1. Students cannot submit to an assignment and instructors can no longer grade a student’s submission outside of the Grader report.
      
3. Course overview issues
   
   1. Course will display incorrect data to instructors about which items are graded or need to be graded.
