How do you enter a grade scale?

You set up grading schemes under the course settings.

Here are some lessons in the Canvas Instructor Guide that may be helpful.

• How do I add a grading scheme in a course? 

• How do I use grading schemes in a course? 
• How do I view grading schemes in a course? 
• https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12906-415257089 
• How do I add a grading scheme to an assignment? 

One thing that may not be obvious from the guides is that you can use decimals in your grading scheme and that Canvas does not automatically round. If you want an 89.5% to be rounded to a 90% and count as an "A" then you need to enter 89.5% for the cutoff. If you enter a 90% for the cutoff, then an 89.9% is still a "B".
