Instructors can give grades in Brightspace. Grades can always be found in uSis, some instructors will also publish the grades on Brightspace.
Your final grade is published in uSis. If there is a discrepancy between your grade in Brightspace and the one on uSis, it is the mark in uSis that counts. If you suspect a mistake in uSis, contact the instructor of the course.
