Deliver Letter Grades

Overview Blackboard allows instructors to set up a column to display the letter grade resulting from the averaging of specified columns. NOTE: Be sure to create a column with the numeric value to base the letter grades on (ex: 90-100=A, 80-89=B, etc.). See the Setup for Final & Midterm Calculated Grades

Letter Grade Column	TOP
Under the Teach Tab, click on Grade Book. Click on Create Column. Select Letter Grade. Fill in the Column Label. If you would like the column to appear in your student's My Grades area, check the check box next to Grade-Related column and Released to Student. Avoid using special characters ( @ # % & ; ). Click Save. Click on the ActionLinks icon of the newly created column and select Edit Column Letter Grade Scheme. Select the column that you want to base the letter grades on. This is usually a calculated column that has previously been setup. For more information see our help on creating a calculated column. Notice that Blackboard has a number of Letter Grade options available. Edit the grade ranges as appropriate for your course. Press the Save button. Go Back to the Grade Book area and verify that it is calculating the grades correctly. Note: A Letter Grade column must be released before the students are able to see it.
