Creating a custom column is a way for you to enter in points or information that aren't already in Blackboard.  This could include points for in-class activities, watching videos, or reading assignments.

To create a column:

• Go to the "Full Grade Center"
• Up in the gray menu bar, click on "Create Column"
• Enter the column name
  • You have the option to add a different name for just the Grade Center
• Description of the columns or grade contained within it
• Primary Display is how the column is shown; as total points, percentage, letter grade, complete/incomplete, or custom text
  • Primary Display is how the grade looks in both Grade Center and My Grades from the My Institution page
• Secondary Display is how the column is shown in Grade Center
• Set how many points are possible for the column
• Due Date for the points
• Choose your options and click "Submit"
