Digital Literacy for St. Cloud State University
Q: I have assigned six quizzes, but would like the one with the lowest grade to be dropped for the final grading of the quizzes. How do I do that?
A: Make sure that the quizzes are under a grade category and condition the grade category to exclude the quizz with the lowest score.

Per MnSCU System Office:
We are still seeing a backlog in the email queue for D2L notifications, and delays of 10-20 hours before users receive the email messages. The mail is moving, but new messages are coming in as fast as old ones are going out, so the queue level remains high.
We have escalated this issue on our internal IT teams as well as with D2L. We will keep you informed of the status as we continue the investigation.
