At the end of each semester you will probably need to download your gradebook so that you can submit your grades. The gradebook should always be exported before recylcing and removing users from your course because once users are removed, any information pertaining to the users is also removed. Re-enrolling a user will not bring their grades back.

Step 1.
Go to your course and select the Control Panel. Once in the Control Panel select Gradebook from the Assessment section.

Step 2.
Select Download Grades.

Step 3.
Select a delimiter from the two choices, either a tab or comma. The delimiter tells your database (like MS Excel) where a column begins and ends. Next select the Submit button.

Part 4.
The next window you're presented with is the Download Gradebook screen. Select the Download button and you will offered the option of opening the file or saving. Select Save to Disk (this tutorial was created using the FireFox web browser, the Internet Explorer options for saving will look slightly different).
