Input Grades

There are three options for assigning students’ grades in the MyBU Student Grade Roster. Refer to this image for all three options in the overview below:

Grade Roster page, displaying Approval Status, Save button, student select checkboxes, and the Roster Grade field. The three dots menu displays a dropdown with options to Download CSV, Add Roster Grade to Multiple Students, Add Roster Grades from CSV, and Import Grades.

  1. Input grades manually in the Grade Roster page.
    1. In the Roster Grade field, type in or select from the dropdown the individual grade for a particular student.
    2. In the three dots menu, select the option to Add Roster Grade to Multiple Students to assign the same grade to multiple students at once.
  2. Upload grades from a CSV file.
    1. In the three dots menu in the Grade Roster page, select Download CSV.
    2. Open the downloaded file in an application such as as Excel and enter the grades as applicable.
    3. Save the file in CSV format.
    4. Back in the Grade Roster page, click the three dots menu again and select Add Roster Grades from CSV.
    5. Select the saved CSV file, and the grades will populate directly into the Grade Roster. Grades can be edited in the Grade Roster after uploading, if needed.
  3. Import grades from Blackboard.
    1. Ensure that the Total Grade column in Blackboard is set to Letter Grade (not a number value).
    2. Once students’ total grades have been recorded in the Blackboard Gradebook/Grade Center, click the three dots menu in the Grade Roster page and select Import Grades.
    3. The grades will populate directly into the Grade Roster as they were recorded in Blackboard. Grades can be edited in the Grade Roster after importing, if needed, but note that any updates made in the Grade Roster will not be recorded back on Blackboard.

TIP! Don’t forget to click Save to save progress if it is necessary to navigate away from the Grade Roster page before the grades are ready to submit!

APPROVAL STATUSES
  • NOT REVIEWED – Grades have not yet been submitted.
  • READY FOR REVIEW – Grades have been submitted and are awaiting review by an authorized approver.
  • APPROVED – Grades are recorded and have been approved by an authorized approver.
  • POSTED – Approved grades have been processed through the Office of the University Registrar and are considered official. The grades can be viewed by students in MyBU Student and are reflected on their official transcripts.

NOTE: Some graders are authorized only to submit grades and not to approve them. Graders with approval authorization can enter and approve grades all in one sitting. Contact your appropriate school/college administrator with questions about the different types of grading access.
