This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up letter grades in Brightspace. By following these instructions, you will be able to efficiently manage and input grades into the system.


Alert! The Export to SIS, which places midterm and final grades into the official student records, requires that the grade be a letter grade rather than a percentage.
