This article is intended for faculty who want to know how to work with letter grades in the HuskyCT Grade Center. Letter grade schemas are used to automatically calculate student letter grades based on a percentage-based grade schema. HuskyCT courses include a default letter grade schema, but instructors can edit existing schemas or create new ones based on their specific grading policies/plans. Letter grade schemas can be used to display letter grades for any Grade Center column , and are commonly used to display letter grades for midterm or final grades.

If you intend to push your grades from HuskyCT to Student Admin/PeopleSoft, the letter grade values must be conventional A through F letter grades. While the Grading Schemas feature does allow you to enter different text other than letter grades, your grades will not push successfully if they are not in a format Student Admin recognizes.
