Creating Categories

by Luke Eclipse-Ujano Updated on

To keep your assignments organized, you can create categories.

Please contact your Department Head for help for Infinite Campus. They may be able to share specific details for your class. Computer Techs are unable to answer specific questions aside from what you see in this tutorial.

2. Choose Section

You can choose to create a category for ALL your periods, or an individual one. If you want to make categories for multiple, but not all sections, click on All. You will find out why in a future step.

4. Name and Select

  1. Name your category and select the sections that need it.
  2. Add a weight percentage as needed. If set to 0, assignments in the category may not calculate correctly towards a student's grade.
  3. Sequence: If you want to have multiple categories, you may assign a sequence number to it. The smaller the number, the higher up you will see it in your list. If you choose 0, categories will appear alphabetically.
  4. Ask your Department Head if Excluding from Calculation or Drop Lower Score is required for this category.
