Earlier in the year, the Institute Curriculum Committee (ICC) approved changes to the grading scale used for graduate courses. This unfortunately means that any courses created for Fall 2020 created before the announcement, have an out-dated schema. We explored the possibility of having Blackboard run a backend database query to correct the schema but the addition of additional rows in the schema in each course offering made this approach impractical.

This outcome means that most Fall 2020 graduate courses need their grading schema’s updated to reflect the new grading system. To help you correct the schema in your courses we have prepared these instructions.
