If the students are unable to see the course grade total, it could be that one of your grade items: assignments, quizzes, etc. is hidden from students. By default, Moodle would hide the course total if that's the case.


You have two options to make the course grade total visible to students:


1) Show the hidden items to students from Gradebook setup:


In the example below, the "Assignment" activity's max grade is greyed out, meaning it's hidden. Click Edit and Show. As it was the only hidden item in the gradebook setup, students would now be able to see their course total.

 


2) Keep some grade items hidden from students:


If you want to keep certain grade items hidden from students but would like them to see their course total, you can change the gradebook preferences:


  1. On the course main page, click Grades underneath the hamburger icon.
  2. Click the drop-down list and select course grade settings.

  3. Scroll down to User report and change "Hide totals if they contain hidden items" to "Show totals excluding hidden items". Click Save changes.
  4. Students would be able to see the course total despite some activities being hidden.
