Grading schemes are built based on percentage ranges, and each percentage range is assigned a name value. You can create any type of grading scheme by editing the name and percentage range for each item. When enabling a grading scheme for a course, the grading scheme is applied to the students' final grades in addition to the overall percentage.
If you choose to use a grading scheme at a later time, you will have to re-enable a grading scheme. Notes: In a course export, the enabled course grading scheme is copied as the default grading scheme. Using an account-level grading scheme built by your institution links the scheme into your course—it does not import as a new scheme on the ...

A grading scheme is a set of criteria that measures varying levels of achievement in a course. Course-level grading schemes are grading schemes that can be defined at both the course level and the assignment level. Without a grading scheme, scores are not measured against any specific standard.
Grading schemes only support two decimal places. The only scores allowed in the Gradebook are those defined in the grading scheme. Gradebook entries that are not specifically defined in the grading scheme revert back to the icon showing that the submission needs to be graded.
Letter Grades is the most traditional type of grading scheme and is the default format for new grading schemes. Only supported scores are allowed in the Gradebook, so if you build a letter grade scheme with name values for only A, B, and C, you cannot enter a score that converts to an A- or B+.
Only supported scores are allowed in the Gradebook, so if you build a performance scheme with the name values of only Excellent and Poor, you cannot enter a score of Good.
Without a grading scheme, scores are not measured against any specific standard. You can enable a grading scheme created by your institution, or you can add a new grading scheme specific to your course. View a video about Grading Schemes.
For Letter Grade Schemes, you can input scores in the Gradebook depending on the assignment display type: For any assignment type, you can enter grades as points or a percentage. For instance, if an assignment is worth 10 points and the student earns 9, you can input 9 or 90% (which displays the grade defined in the percentage range).

Incomplete is a temporary grade given at the discretion of the instructor.
After grades are officially recorded on a student’s transcript they cannot be changed except in extraordinary circumstances. No change may occur unless the instructor who gave the grade initiates the formal process of a retroactive grade change. The change must also be approved by the instructor’s department head and by the instructor’s dean.
