Where can you find your final grade?
The most reliable option is to view your transcript or your school's grade postings, as instructors may or may not post final grades within Brightspace.
If the final grade has been posted within Brightspace:
- Go to your course.
- Click on Grades.
- Your final grade should be displayed at the top of the page.

Why does your final grade in Brightspace differ from your transcript?
The final grade in Brightspace and in your transcript may differ if your Instructor has enabled Drop Ungraded Items.
- This setting ignores ungraded items when displaying your final grade in Brightspace.
- This can cause your grade to appear higher in Brightspace than it actually is if you have incomplete assignments.
Please contact your Instructor if you have any questions or concerns regarding your final grade.

Unable to see a grade in the Grade Book
Your grades are only visible in Brightspace once your instructor has published them.
- If the instructor has already stated that the grade should be available:
- Contact your instructor and inform them that your grade is still not showing.
- They can contact us if they are unsure of how to make the grade visible.

Why does my grade say Dropped?
This could happen for the following reasons:
- The Instructor decided to drop the highest and/or lowest grade item in this category
- The Instructor decided to drop this assignment so it does not count toward final grade
Contact your Instructor for more information on why your grade was dropped.
