&lt;p&gt;If you want to display grades as an &amp;quot;S&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;U&amp;quot;, you&amp;#39;ll need to set up a grading schema that maps &amp;quot;S&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;U&amp;quot; to specific percentages, similar to the &amp;quot;Letter&amp;quot; schema except with only two values, and use that as the primary display.&amp;nbsp; However, the underlying assignment will still be stored and calculated based on numeric points--it has to be, in order to do calculations like totals.&amp;nbsp; You will also be able to enter grades from the grade center view as &amp;quot;S&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;U&amp;quot;, but that grade will actually be stored as a numberic score based on the number of points the assignment is worth and the percentages assigned by your grading schema.&lt;/p&gt;

I am trying to give the assignment the grading choice of S or U. Can I do that?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
