Adding a column to display letter grades, course averages, or total point calculations (Ultra)

1. Use the plus sign and Add Total Calculation to create a new column.
   
   
   
   
2. Choose Points under Select Calculation Type.
   
   
3. Set it to display as Letter (or Percentage, or Points--whichever you want to use) under Select a grade schema.
   
   
4. Click Save. 

If you are excluding any grades from the total or dropping grades from a category,  you will need to exclude them and/or set the rule in the new column as well. See this video: Ultra Gradebook Calculated Columns

When calculating total columns, it is good practice to make sure all total columns match or calculate the way you intended. In this case, the instructor displayed points, the course average, and the letter grade to the students. The same drop rules were applied to each column. By clicking on the Grades link, the instructor can see the points possible for each column.
