Note: If other grading schemes have already been set, this link will read Manage schemes.
4. Choose the + Add scheme option in the Manage grading schemes popup dialogue box.

The first two levels will automatically populate by default. Add levels by choosing the + Add level option. You can also delete levels by selecting the trash icon.
Choose the Save button when finished.
6. Select the Done button to complete the process.
Now you have the ability to choose between a points or letter based grading scheme. Additionally, you'll notice that the link formerly labeled "Add schemes" has been renamed to Manage Schemes.
