Policy Review - Grade Center Policyhttp://kc.fiu.edu/blackboard/blackboard-grade-center-policy/
Instructional designers may access the Grade Center, create and manipulate grade columns, and set up calculated columns and total columns. Instructional designers are restricted from entering student grades and may only clear grades upon written (email) confirmation from the faculty member. Faculty members are ultimately responsible for verifying the accuracy of all aspects of the Grade Center, including calculated column formulas.
