How to Prevent D2L from Rounding Up Decimals in Grades
Can you prevent Brightspace from rounding up a grade to two decimal places?
I am helping an instructor display up to 4 decimal places for both individual grade items, and for Midterm and Final grades. I have tried everything from changing the Org Unit Display Options on both instructor and student ends, reviewing Calculation Options, and covering Assignment grading settings.
When the instructor manually enters grades in the gradebook directly, he can keep up to four decimal places without the LMS automatically rounding up to two decimal places. But, when he enters grades into the Assignments evaluation section of Brightspace, the system automatically rounds up to two decimal places.
I've tried looking in the D2L forums for this answer as well and have come up dry. Any thoughts on this?

Hi Lara,
Thank you for reaching out to us through the community.
The controlling of decimal places or rounding of grades can be done through Gradebook settings and also through Config variables
Can you please check on the following config variables and see what the value is set to?
- d2l.Tools.Grades.MyGrades.ControlDecimalPlaces ( OrgUnit )
Determines the number of decimal places to display to participants for grade items.
Can also be set from the Grades Settings area or Grades Setup Wizard.
If a value is not set for a specific Orgunit, then it will take up the Instance value for rounding the grades.
This config is applicable across all activities that is tied to grades.
2. d2l.Tools.Quizzes.NumberOfDecimalPlacesForRounding ( Org )
This setting controls how many decimal places we will round to when we grade questions
Kindly check these configs and see if this helps solve your issue.
Thanks,
Sreelakshmi
