Cutoff - Cutoff is the lowest percent a student receives in order to the get the corresponding letter grade.
Percent - If letter grades are used in place of points, the percent column is the value that a letter grade is issued. For instance, if you input the letter B in the scoresheet, it has the value of 83. This can be different from the Cutoff.
Description - This is the description of the letter grade.
Ignore - The ignore column allows you to remove/disregard some of the letter grades. In the example to the right, the letter grades, I, NM, and P are ignored. If you need to use any of these letter grades, you can uncheck the Ignore box next to the corresponding grade.
