Grades can be submitted from Canvas directly to Banner using the “Submit Grades & LDA” integration tool in your Canvas course. Grades may be submitted, changed, and resubmitted through this tool during the submission period determined by the Registrar. Any grade changes after the nightly roll must be made by contacting the Registrar's Office
Notes for entering grades:
- Grayed out/disabled rows indicate that the student has withdrawn or is not officially registered for the course.
- Last Date Attended, is used for students who have a failing grade and did not complete the course, so you would enter the last date the student attended the course.
- If an error occurs, a student’s row will be highlighted in red and there will be a message describing the issue for the grade not being accepted.
- Canvas uses the Standard grading mode which uses grades: A, B, C, D, F, I (these are used for most courses).
Grade Submission Instructions
- Log into Canvas using your WSSU ID and password.
- Use the Dashboard or the “All Courses” link to access the course for which you wish to submit grades.
- Find and click on the “Submit Grades & LDA” link from the course navigation menu.
- Wait for students to be loaded (if you have a large course, this may take a minute or two).
- After students have loaded, specify your grading options:
- A. Select Midterm grading if submitting midterm grades or Final grading if submitting final grades. (Please note: Registrar deadlines still apply).
- If you have previously set a grading schema, your grades will be pre-filled automatically.
- If you did not set a grading schema, your grades will have to be entered manually.
- After you have entered all your grades, click “Submit” and this will pass the grades to Banner.
- If the grades have been successfully received by Banner, the column “Submitted” will populate with a check mark for all students.
- Mid-term grading and Final grading (see screens below)
- Entering grades for the Midterm is straight forward using the standard grading mode. For I – incomplete grades, you enter the “I” grade and you do not have to enter the “Last Attended Date” as this is not a final grade. After the grades have been entered, you must click submit. You have a limited time to enter grades, or the system will time out and you may have to re-enter the grades again. “The session has expired. Please refresh and try again.”
- Entering grades for the Final using the standard grading mode is slightly different from the Midterm. For I – incomplete grades, you enter the “I” grade and you must include 2 required items. After the grade is entered, you MUST enter the “Last Attended Date” using the mm/dd/yyyy format. You MUST include a grade “F” for the “Incomplete Final Grade”. You are not required to enter an extension date as there is a default set in Banner for this item. The “Attendance” tab will display the same information as the “Last Attended Date” information. After the grades have been entered, you must click submit. You have a limited time to enter grades, or the system will time out and you may have to re-enter the grades again. “The session has expired. Please refresh and try again.”
