1. Log onto Blackboard at http://bb.elmhurst.edu.

2. Under Courses you are teaching, click the link of the desired course.

3. Click the "Control Panel" button (the bottom-most button located to the left of the screen).
4. Click on Gradebook.

5. Click on Download Grades

6. A list of instructions appears for PC and Mac users and Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator users ... read through the instructions and click the "Download" button

7. Save the file to your computer (Pay attention to where you are saving the file). You may want to rename it to reflect the course and date of download.

Once you have exported (downloaded) your gradebook, open Excel or a similar spreadsheet program.

1. Open Excel
2. Go to file menu
3. Choose Open
4. Find where you put the file on your computer
5. Change the "files of type" to "all files"
