Note. In order for the Import Grades button to appear on the grade roster, both Enable Grade Import must be checked on the SAIP Installation page (Set Up SACR, Install, SAIP Installation) and a Grade Source ID must be entered on the Class Targets page (Curriculum Management, Schedule of Classes, SA Integration Pac, Class Targets). If a grade source target is not set for a section, then the grade import functionality for that section will be unavailable to the user even if Enable Grade Import is checked at the system level.

Last Import

Displays the date and time when the Import Grades button was last clicked.

Grade Import Error Log

Appears if any row containing either a student ID or a grade did not successfully import for the course.

Click to access the error log page where you can view descriptions of unsuccessful imports.

Note. If a row cannot be imported because no ID is associated, then it also cannot appear in the log, which is ID dependent. A message appears at the bottom of the error log page instead.

Import Grades

Click to capture and import final grades from the external system into the Student Records grade roster.

Grades are pulled for the roster as a whole. You can import grades as many times as desired so long as the roster's approval status is not Approved or Submitted for Approval, and as long as the grades have not yet been posted.

Rows for the imported grades appear in the grid area at the bottom of the page. The grades appear in the Grade Input column and with a status of Assigned. Instructors can check, change, and control grades before finalizing and posting them.

Warning! When you re-import grades, all grades data are overwritten and any manual adjustments that you made will be lost.
