In the top left corner of Full Grade Center, select Create Column to add a column that can display manually entered scores or text.
Alternatively, you can select Create Calculated Column to add a column that will use existing columns in the Grade Center to compute an Average, Weighted, Average, Total, or find the Maximum/Minimum value.
Enter the required information.
For all column types, a Course Name must be entered. This is the name that the students will see when looking at their grades in My Grades.
A Grade Center Name is generally not advised as it makes it more difficult to compare the student view to the instructor view of column names.

Both "regular" and calculated columns have two Display Settings – Primary and Secondary. Only the Primary Display will appear in My Grades for Students.
If a Secondary Display is added, which is optional, it will appear in the Grade Center in parentheses after the Primary Display as shown in this example:
The score in the example is out of 100, so the score and percentage are the same.
This view will only be seen by instructors.
Both Primary Display and Secondary Display offer 5 options:
Score: the most common and will display the number with two decimal places
Letter: based on a Grading Scheme defined by the instructor
Text: can be used to enter an alpha grade manually, or for other text
Percentage: displays the result of dividing the score entered by points possible
Complete/Incomplete: enters a check mark once a score is entered for a student
