After you add your grade item, you will notice that it adds the value of that item to the overall course total. In order to correct this and have it treated as an actual extra credit item, scroll down to the new item you just created and click Edit.
On the grade item settings page, scroll down to the Parent category section and you will see a checkbox labeled Extra credit. Make sure this box is checked. This will tell Course Site to treat this item as true extra credit. Click Save changes when you are done.

After saving your changes, you will notice that your extra credit grade item is no longer being factored in to the overall course total and is calculated as extra credit.
