You can enable an existing grading scheme for your course by editing your Course Settings.

Notes:

• In a course export, the enabled course grading scheme is copied as the default grading scheme.
• Using an account-level grading scheme built by your institution links the scheme into your course—it does not import as a new scheme on the course level. If you have permission to manage grading schemes, note that modifying the account scheme in your course will also modify it for the entire institution.
