How do I activate the My Grades Link?
If you are using a recent Blackboard course shell, the My Grades link should already be on the Main Course Menu on the left-hand side of your Blackboard screen. However the default is for the link to be turned off. If you do not have the My Grades tool link scroll down to find instructions on how to create it.
To make the My Grades link active:
Go to the Main Course Menu on the left-hand side of your screen. Find the My Grades link and choose the drop down menu to reveal the options. Choose Show Link.
To create a My Grades menu link
If you do not have the My Grades tool link in your course menu. On the top left area of the course menu, mouse over the “Add Menu Item” icon 
Click on the Tool link
In the Add Tool Link box that opens, Under Name, type in My Grades. Under Type, select My Grades from the drop down menu and check the box for Available to Users, otherwise the students will not be able to see the link, nor be able to access My Grades. Click on Submit.
Congratulations, you have created the link. You can now drag and drop, or use the arrows to move the link to the position that you want it to appear on your menu.
