Blackboard will NOT be available for student grade retention after 31 March 2026. Therefore if your course has any requirements to maintain student grades for any period of time, it is imperative that you export your gradebook data prior to 31 March 2026. 

Follow this procedure to export your grades from Blackboard

1. Log into Blackboard and enter the course you wish to export the grades.

2. From the control panel click on the Grade Center and go into the Full Grade Center

3.In the right hand corner click the 'Work Offline' drop down, and select the option to Download.

4. In most situations the default settings are fine. Hit the Submit button in the lower right.

5. When prompted by your browser, Save the file to your deskop.

6. Please note the file will be saved as a .xls document, and since the migration to A365 this type of file cannot be opened on the Army desktop images. The work around for this issue is to rename the file to .csv. 

7. Finally upload the esported gradebook into the location your school has designated for storing and retaining student records.
