All grades are included in grade average calculations by default, but a Grading Manager can exclude a student's grade from calculations by disabling the Include in grade averages designation for that grade.

Note: Include in grade averages is only available via Enter grades by students in Grades & Credits. It is not available in Enter grades by class and it is not available for Grades & Credits - Dropped or Grades and Credits - Transfer.
