Hide Default Columns in the Full Grade Center

When you access your Full Grade Center in Blackboard, you will see that a few default columns display to the left of your students’ course grades. These columns include: USERNAME, STUDENT ID, and AVAILABILITY. Most instructors find that these columns do not provide them with pertinent information about their students. With these columns visible in your Grade Center, you have to scroll to the right before you can see any student grades. It’s possible to hide some of these columns from yourself so that you have to do less scrolling in your Grade Center. Please note, we recommend that you do not hide the LAST ACCESS column, as this gives you information at a glance as to the last time each student logged into your course.

Leverage Full-Screen Mode or collapse your course menu to view even more columns at once.
