The Blackboard app Grades feature page displays an incorrect letter grade for overall course grades when the total point values of the calculation are less than 100. This issue affects both Original and Ultra view courses. The grades detail page and the course outline page display the correct letter grade.

Create a grade column worth less than 100 points

Edit the Total Column to display as Letter grade

Assign the student score equal to the total points possible for the grade column

Log in to the Blackboard App as the student and view the Grades feature page

Expected - The student should see A+ (or top letter grade value) since they earned 100% of possible points

Observed - The student will see a lower letter grade depending on the total points possible for the assignment

Steps to Reproduce (Ultra)

Create an Ultra UI course and enroll a student user

Access the grade center as instructor or admin

Create a grade column worth less than 100 points
