Create a New Grading System

To create a new grading system:

• Click + Add Grading System in the upper-right corner

• Fill out the required details:

  • Label – The unique name of the grading system template or matrix

  • Grading System Type – Choose from:

    • Pass or Fail – Define a specific passing and failing value

    • Numeric Range – Set a range for passing and failing scores

  • Value – The scores faculty members will use to grade students

  • Pass or Fail Dropdown – Determines whether a given score is a passing or failing mark
