Entering Quarter Grades in Ultra Courses with the Academic Records Integration LTI

After you receive the email letting you know it is time to enter Quarter Grades, you can proceed to Blackboard. If you enter grades before this time, it may not accurately reflect the student's progress in the course.

Quarter Grades will now be completed within Blackboard Ultra course sections using the Academic Records Integration LTI tool.

Note: Roster Verification must be completed before entering Quarter Grades.

To access the Academic Records Integration LTI tool, enter your Blackboard Ultra course section:

1. On the Content tab of your course, click Books & Tools.
   
   
   
2. Select the Academic Records Integration LTI tool from the list of available tools.
   
   
   
3. Navigate to the Quarter Grade tab of the tool.  For the grade in the ARI tool to match what is showing in the Gradebook, all grades need to be marked as POSTED.  Grades that are not posted are omitted from the calculation which may cause a discrepancy between the two tools.
