Faculty Tip: Customizing the Last Access Column in Your Gradebook

Starting October 15, a new setting in the Gradebook allows you to view when students last accessed your course. Here is how to manage this column in your view:

How to Add the Last Access Column

  1. Open your course and click on Gradebook tab.

  2. Click the Gradebook Settings menu.

    Gradebook's gear/settings icon
  3. Under Student options, scroll to Student details.

  4. Toggle Last Access on (it is turned off by default).

    "Last access" button on Gradebook Settings

  5. The column will now appear as a sortable column in the grid view.

How to Hide/Remove the Column

If you prefer a cleaner view or do not need to track access times continuously:

  • Simply return to Gradebook Settings and uncheck the Last Access option at any time.

Note: Customizing gradebook columns alters your personal view and does not affect how students see their grades.
