Blackboard Grade Centre – releasing grades to students
There have been a few incidents recently where students have been able to see their grades in Blackboard, even though the specific column in Grade Centre has been hidden. NOTE: This does not apply to Turnitin grades as they are not released until the post date has been reached.
When hiding columns in Grade Centre it is important that you hide the column in which the grades are listed, AND the Total column AND the Weighted Total column (that is if you are keeping a running total in the Weighted Total column)
The process for hiding columns in Grade Centre can be found at:
