ID&D KB How-to Guide

Working together to enhance teaching & learning. If you need additional assistance, please reach out to the ID&D team.

Instructors who are interested in separating the student's first and last name into separate columns in the Gradebook can enable and disable this feature as needed. When student names are split, the Student Last Name column will display first and will include section information. When split names are enabled, both columns are sortable and separate columns for the split names are respected and displayed in the Gradebook CSV export if you download your gradebook.

Note: If a user has a preferred name that is different from their legal name, the legal name is displayed.
