Understanding Grading

After you set up your grading schemes and grade bases, define mapping rules, and generate grade rosters, you are ready to enter grades.

You can enter grades in one of three ways:

  • System administrators or power users can enter grades directly on the Grade Roster page for each class.

  • Instructors can define class assignments, percentages, and even electronically communicate with students by entering grades directly through PeopleSoft Gradebook, a separately licensed PeopleSoft application.

  • Instructors or other authorized self-service users can enter midterm and final grades through PeopleSoft Campus Self Service, a separately licensed PeopleSoft application.

Before you can enter and post grades, you must:

  • Set up your grading schemes and grade bases.

  • Define mapping rules.

  • Generate grade rosters.
