How to release grades to students on a specified date

This refers to Moodle 4.1 from December 2023 onwards.

How to release grades to students on a particular date

By default, our Moodle is set to hide the grades from the students until they are manually released in the marking workflow.

Marking workflow is an excellent way to manage release of grades for individuals, groups and whole cohorts. It is extremely flexible.

Using Marking Workflow and Marking Allocation in Moodle Assignment

If you don't want to have to go in and release grades at a particular time, you can also release grades all together on a particular date. It saves you needing to remember to do this manually (though you can manually change the date if you need to).

NOTE: It is best to have marking workflow set to OFF if you want to do this. If you still need Marking Workflow as well, ensure that grades are RELEASED before the date chosen, so that they can be revealed.
