How to Download your Blackboard Gradebook

We recommend downloading your Blackboard gradebook occasionally so that you will have a local copy that you can refer to even if you do not have access to the Internet or Blackboard web site.

Here's how to download your Gradebook in 5 steps:

1. In your course, click Control Panel > Gradebook

2. Click the "Download Grades" link

3. Make sure that the "Delimeter Type" is set to comma and click Submit

4. Right-click the Download button (click with the right mouse button. On a Macintosh, hold the single mouse button down long enough to get a menu). Then click "Save Target As..." or "Save Link As..."

5. Name your file keeping the .csv file extension at the end. Note where you are saving the file on your computer, and click the Save button.

You can open the gradebook file for viewing on your computer using Excel or a similar spreadsheet program, or the text editor of your choice.
