Enable Course Grading Scheme

Grades must be posted to Banner/DuckWeb as letter grades, not points. To ensure this, you need to enable a course Grading Scheme.

 

In the course Settings, scroll down to the Grading Scheme option and make sure the Enable course grading scheme box is checked. Open the Default Canvas Grading Scheme drop-down menu and select UO Compliant Grading Scheme.

Exporting Grades from the Gradebook

  • Go to the Actions menu [1].
  • From the Actions menu, select Export [2].
  • A banner will appear at the top of the page to signal an export has begun.
  • The exported file will be available as a CSV file in the Downloads section of your computer.

Creating the Grade Import File

  • In order to upload your grades to Banner/DuckWeb, your grade file must be formatted properly.  
  • The Canvas export file will include all the student information, assignments, assignment groups, and final grade calculations.  
  • Make sure the Current Grade and Final Grade match. This indicates that all assignments have been graded and are being calculated in the Final Grade results.  
  • Make sure the Unposted Current Grade and Unposted Final Grade match so you know all assignments are unmuted and students have received all their grades.  
  • When uploading grades to Duckweb, only the SIS ID (95 number) and a Final Grade column are needed -  all the other columns can be deleted from the file you create to import to DuckWeb.  
  • DuckWeb will ask you to indicate which columns contain the SIS ID (95 number) and Final Grade, so be sure to note those.
