Color Code Your Grade Center

Blackboard’s Full Grade Center offers an option to color code both grade statuses, and color code grade ranges. Color-coding can be a strong visual cue for you to determine whether an assessment is in progress, is ready to be graded, or you have exempted the grade. Color-coding can also be used to show you at a glance grades which fall below a designated percentage so that you can follow up with these students.

To set up color coding in your Full Grade Center:

1. Navigate to the Full Grade Center.
2. Hover your mouse pointer over Manage and click Grading Color Codes.
   
   
3. Check Enable Grading Color Codes.
4. To color-code your Grade Center by Grade Status, including grades that are In Progress, Need Grading, or Exempt:
   1. Select the appropriate status for which you want notification.
   2. Select a color.
   3. Click Apply.
      
      
5. To color code your Grade Center by Grade Ranges:
   1. Select a Grade Range for which you wish to be notified (example: color-code all grades below 70%).
   2. Select a color for the Grade Range.
   3. Change text color if desired.
   4. Add Criteria if desired.
      
      
6. Click Submit.
7. You can toggle the color coding on and off in the Grade Center using Hide Color Coding and Display Color Coding.
