Disabling Automatic Zeros

Automatic zeros are enabled in Ultra courses by default. This means that Blackboard will assign zeros for unopened/late assessments that are past the due date. However, students and groups can still submit work after an automatic zero is assigned.

To disable automatic zeros:

  1. In the Gradebook, select the Settings icon. The Gradebook Settings panel will open on the right.
    Two arrows next to each other horizontally, one pointing up and the other down. To the right of the arrows is a gear/wheel icon.
  2. Near the middle of the panel is the “Automatic Zeros” option. Deselect the green arrow.
    A green arrow next to an option that says "Assign automatic zeros for past due work".
  3. An option will be given to “Keep existing automatic zeros” or “Clear existing automatic zeros”. After making the preferred selection, press confirm.
    Two options are shown, one of them is "Keep existing automatic zeros" and the other is "Clear existing zeros".
