Blackboard Ultra (Faculty) - Gradebook: Delete Gradebook Columns

Blackboard Ultra allows instructors to delete columns from the Gradebook. Deleting a column is permanent and cannot be undone. Ensure you have backed up your Gradebook data if needed before proceeding. 

Note: Deleting a Gradebook column that is associated with a Blackboard assessment (assignment, test, etc.) will also delete that assessment and all student grades and submissions associated with it. 

From the Grades Tab

1. Navigate to your Gradebook and select the Grades tab.
2. Click on the column header and select Delete.
   
   
   
   
3. A confirmation window will appear indicating whether or not there are submissions associated with the column. Click Delete to confirm the deletion.
   
   

From the Gradable Items Tab

1. Navigate to your Gradebook and select the Gradable Items tab.
2. Click on the ellipsis at the end of the row/column you want to delete and choose Delete.
   
   
   
   
3. A confirmation message will appear indicating whether the column has submissions associated with it. Click Delete to confirm the deletion.
