The Grading Schema on Blackboard is a feature that converts the numerical values of graded assignments/assessments into letters, based on a map. This also can be used to allow faculty to enter in letter grades and have them calculate a numerical value based on a designated range set up in the schema. This article shows how to set up and manage Grading Schemas.

The Overall Grade in Blackboard Ultra (formerly called "Weighted Total") reflects a calculated total in a course to reflect students' progress. Instructors can incorporate categories of assessments and/or individual assessments, and can have it appear as a percentage, total value or letter grade (when used in conjunction with a grading schema). This article provides information to faculty about how the Overall Grade can be set up and managed within a Blackboard Ultra course.
