By default, final course grades in Canvas are expressed in percentages and letter grades (A - F), while ALU uses a 5-point scale to describe the performance of a student in your course. While we cannot completely remove the percentages displayed to faculty and students enrolled in a Canvas course, it is possible to replace letter grades with ALU's grade levels. To change the grading scheme for your course from the default to ALU's point-based grading scheme, you will need to do the following:

Go to "Settings" in your course

1. In the list of settings, click on the checkbox labeled "Enable curse grading scheme"

2. Select "set grading scheme"

5. Once presented with the correct grading scheme, click "Use this grading standard"

6. To complete the process click "Done"

Upon completing the steps above, your grade book will display the corresponding 5-point scale of students score in your gradebook instead of letter grades.
