e-Grades is the tool used to electronically submit grades through Canvas and transfers grades from Canvas to USF's internal student database (BANNER/OASIS). This article explains how to properly submit grades using e-Grades.
eGrades Submission is a menu option in most Canvas courses as shown below.
If eGrades Submission is not an option in your Canvas course, it may be hidden. To make this option visible do the following:
After selecting the eGrades Submission option click Authorize.
Only the Instructor of Record (IOR) is authorized to enter and submit eGrades for the course. |
If the eGrades Submission option displays error messages, there may be a problem with the course setup or grading may not be open. Contact the Registrar for assistance at TellTheRegistrar@usf.edu.
To enter grades, select either Manual Entry (type grades in) or Gradebook (select and populate grades from column in gradebook).
Gradebook provides an option to modify/setup grading scale to include +/- grades and modify the percentage required for each letter grade.
After grades are entered, Save them in Canvas to work on later or Submit to Banner if finished. For grades submitted to Banner, a grade must be selected for all students on the roster.
If updates are needed after grades are entered and submitted to Banner, click Modify Grades or Start over.
Last date of attendance (last date the student attended the course) must be entered for F or U grades.
For I (Incomplete) grades, the work to be completed, last date of attendance, due date of work, whether the student was contacted or not, and percentage of work completed must be entered.
For grade changes after Grades are rolled to history, the Department Chair must approve the grade changes.
