This guide walks you through the process of importing final grades from Brightspace to CUNYfirst. The goal is to streamline grade submissions and ensure accurate grade transfer. Please note that the import process is optional<\/strong>, and that all CUNYfirst grades should be reviewed before submitting to the Registrar and Posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Brightspace<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Before importing grades into CUNYfirst, ensure the following in Brightspace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Final Calculated Grade<\/strong>: Check all the grades in the Final Calculated Grade<\/strong> column in Brightspace for accuracy and make any necessary adjustments. This is the grade that will be imported by default into CUNYfirst.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1a. Final Adjusted Grade: If you are using the Final Adjusted Grade Column instead, please see the alternative workflows in the Appendix of the Grade Passback User Guide<\/a>, or contact OFDIT<\/a> to discuss options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Grade Scheme<\/strong>: Check the final grade column scheme by choosing Grades>Manage Grades<\/strong> and then selecting Edit <\/strong>for the Final Calculated Grade column. Verify that the correct scheme, either SPS Grad Letter or SPS Undergrad Letter, is selected.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Release Grades<\/strong>: Check that the Final Calculated Grades are released, by noting if the grades display with an eye icon.

        If the eye icon has a line through it , then release the grades by choosing Enter Grades<\/strong>, then select all users and click the Release\/Unrelease<\/strong> button. Released grades should now display with a checkbox in the Released column.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
