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.
