You can use the preview feature to view how grades will be displayed to a specific student in your course.

NOTE:  Previewing student grades is the most accurate way to view how a student will see their grades in D2L Brightspace. When you are viewing the course as a learner using “Role Switch,” the grades may not be up-to-date or accurately displayed.

Preview Student Grades 

  1. Log into Brightspace with your MyCarletonOne credentials.
  2. On the Brightspace homepage, locate your course in one of the following ways:
    • Select the course tile under the My Courses widget.
    • Select the Course Selector Grid  and select the course from the drop-down menu. If you are enrolled in more than 20 courses, you can search for the course name using the search bar.
  3. In the navbar, select Progress.
