# Scheduled Assessments ## Overview Scheduled Assessments in Paradigm are what define the final outcome or grade of a Scheduled Unit. Scheduled Assessments can be added from the defined assessments at the Base Unit level or totally create a new set of Scheduled Assessments at the Scheduled Unit level. When adding Scheduled Assessments, the Scheduled Unit record is required, *see* [Scheduled Units](/home/paradigm-knowledge-base/academic-scheduling/record-types/scheduled-units.md).
