Grade Scales

Your grades can be entered as scores, letters, or using scales which provide textual responses.

Scores and Letters are standardized to the COTROnline grading scale from 0 to 100% and F to A+. Grading Scales allow you to provide non-percentage or letter grades to students.

Please note: Scales adopt background lettering practices based on a range of low-high. For example, in a Pass/Fail scale. Fail = F(0) and Pass = A+(100).

There are several site-wide grading scales available to instructors for use. For most scale titles except a couple, a backslash (/) means an either/or choice; and a dash (-) means a distributed range choice.

If you need a particular scale developed for your course, please contact COTROnline with your request: cotronline@cotr.bc.ca
