Important notice: Grades published in FLO are not official until they appear in the Student Information System. More information about final results

Activities are locked in the gradebook to stop grades from being altered. When an activity is locked it is impossible to enter or change a grade. This has two main purposes:

  1. It is often used by professional staff around exam board, to prevent changes while grades are externally reviewed and transferred into Student Management
  2. It is used as a defacto cut-off date for University-wide activities like the academic integrity quiz, Library World and Pre-Place - these activities don't have a traditional due date, so locking the grades stops late submissions from being recorded in the topic
