How to Color Code the Grade Center
 

To set color codes for grading status

1. On your course, under the Control Panel, click Grade Center, and then click Full Grade Center.
   
    
2. Point to Manage, and then click Grading Color Codes.
   
    
3. In the Color Code Information section, click to select Enable Grading Color Codes.
   
    
4. In the Color Coding Options section, select the colors you wish to use for the different grading statuses. If you want to add color to grade ranges, you can do so.
   
    
5. When you are finished, click Submit.
    

To set color codes for grade ranges

1. While in the Grading Color Codes page, in the Color Coding Options section, click Add Criteria.
   
    
2. In the Criteria list, set the criteria to More Than or Equal To, Less Than, or Between. 
3. In the Percent Value box, type one or more values related to the criteria
   
   

   The lesser value is always inclusive, the upper value is always exclusive. For example, the rule 'Between 10 and 20', will include 10, but does not include 20. 

   Grade Ranges are evaluated in decreasing range order, so it is possible to write a set of rules like: more than 90, more than 80, more than  70, less than 60.

4. Set the Background color and the Text color.
   Please Note:  You can see the preview next to the criteria values.
5. When you are finished, click Submit.
