About Grades and Feedback

Your instructor will post your grades once grading is complete, or they will release all grades at one time to the entire class. Depending on your Notification Settings, you may receive a notification in your Activity Stream or your email when content has been graded.

Your grades for each item will display in a grade pill as a letter, points, or percentage, depending on your instructor's grading preference. The grade pill colors map to these percentages, with the highest score range in green and the lowest in red:

> 90% = green

89–80% = yellow/green

79–70% = yellow

69–60% = orange

>59% = red

Late Work and Automatic Zeroes

If your instructor uses due dates, any work submitted after the due date will be marked as Late.

Your instructor determines grade penalties for late work.
