If you need to excuse a student for completing a graded activity in your Blackboard Ultra course (so that it does not impact the student's overall grade), you can Exempt a graded activity. This feature may also be useful if you provide alternative methods for completing assignments in your course (e.g. students choose to complete a written activity or a video submission).
Tell Me
- Navigate to your Gradebook and ensure you are in the Gradable Items view.
- Click the item you need to exempt for select students.
- Next to the student you need to exempt, click the ellipsis menu and select Add or Edit Exemptions.
- Select the Exempt Grade checkbox, and click Save.
