How do I enter grades into the Blackboard Gradebook?

There are several options for adding grades to the Blackboard Gradebook:

• Add a single student grade to the Gradebook.
• Add all students' grades for a Gradebook Item.
• Upload grades from an Excel spreadsheet.

To add a student's grade to the Gradebook:

1. From your course, click on the Control Panel.
2. Click Gradebook under the Assessment module.
   
3. Click on the dash in the student's row.
   
4. Enter the grade into the Grade box and click Submit.
   

To add all students' grades for a Gradebook Item:

1. From your course, click on the Control Panel.
2. Click Gradebook under the Assessment module.
   
3. Click on the Name of the Gradebook Item.
   
4. Click Item Grade List.
   
5. Type in the Grade for the first student. Note: you can click "Tab" (more than once) after each entry to go to the next student. Click Submit when you are finished.
   

To upload grades from an Excel spreadsheet:

1. To upload grades to the Blackboard Gradebook, click on the Upload Grades button.
   
2. Click Browse to select the file to upload.
   
3. Click Submit.
   
4. Select the column to upload, then select the gradebook destination column or select Create New Gradebook Item. Click Submit.

Note: For best results, Instructors should manipulate and upload a Gradebook that has been downloaded from the Blackboard Learning System. It is not advised that Instructors create a new Excel Gradebook from scratch then upload it.
