If you use the Task Grades gradebook assignment (where task list grades automatically roll up to the gradebook), be aware that the roll-up process runs every 30 minutes—on the hour and half hour.

Before finalizing marking period grades:

1. Verify that all task grades for the current marking period have been entered in the learning standard screen.
   
2. If you make any changes to task grades on the learning standards screen, wait for the next roll-up cycle to complete before finalizing gradebook marking period grades.
