Brightspace: Sending Midterm/Final Grades from Brightspace into Banner (Instructors)

Overview

Final and midterm grades can now be sent directly from Brightspace to Banner by using the "Submit Grades to Banner" function.

Instructions

Things to Remember Before You Begin

  • Final/midterm grades can only be submitted during grade submission windows set by the Registrar.
  • Only the instructor of record listed in Banner can send final/midterm grades through the "Submit Grades to Banner" function.
  • Banner cannot accept numerical grades. Please ensure that you have applied the appropriate letter grade scheme to your final grade column (and other graded columns) before initiating the export (see instructions below).
  • The final grade that is populated on the submission form can either be the Calculated Final Grade or Adjusted Final Grade, but not both. Which ever final grade is released to students will be the one that appears (see instructions below).
  • Personal Enrichment (PE) and Auditor (AU) students should not receive midterm or final grades. You can check to see if you have these student types enrolled in your course by accessing the "Class Schedule with Photos" link in MyNova.
  • It is critical that you set the appropriate grade scheme for your final grades column BEFORE initiating the Submit Grades Banner process (see instructions below).
    *** Failure to complete this step can result in incorrect final grades populating on the Banner submission form***
  • This guide uses the term "Final Grade" to refer to both Final and Midterm grades. The grade column that is submitted to Banner at both Midterm and Final submission periods is always labeled "Final Grade" within the Brightspace gradebook.
