How does extra credit work in Gradebook?
The extra credit (EC) feature in Gradebook can be enabled (1) at the item level or (2) at the category level. For more information on adding items/categories to the gradebook see How do I set up my Gradebook? or How do I add items to the Gradebook?
When you designate an item or a category as EC, those items are not added to the total "out of" value for points possible. If students earn points for extra credit items, those points are added on top of the total grade. However, no points will be deducted for students who do not receive a score for extra credit. EC indicates "bonus" items, or optional credit.
Note: It is important that you DO NOT make individual items extra credit within an extra credit category. Those items will be considered optional within the category and therefore would have no effect on the overall grade outside of the category.

Guest (Non-UVA) Passwords
The first time a site owner or administrator manually adds someone to a UVaCollab site using a non-UVa email address, a new participant password notification is automatically generated by the system and sent to the specified non-UVa email address.
Note: Password notifications to some non-UVa email services may be filtered to the Junk Mail or Spam folder. Non-UVa participants may need to check these folders for their password notification message if they don't find the notice in their Inbox.

Site owners can make a file or folder publicly viewable. This means that the file or folder can be viewed by anyone with the file or folder's URL. The file or folder can be accessed by those who are not site participants, as well as individuals who do not have accounts in UVaCollab.
