This article is for teachers. Administrators, go here.

By July 1, 2024, to use the Grade Export feature, all teachers must have one of the following:

• A Google Workspace for Education Plus license
• A G Suite Enterprise for Education license
• A Teaching and Learning Upgrade license

Important: The SIS grade export feature is available for the these SaaS partners:

• Infinite Campus users with the Campus Learning License
• Skyward SMS 2.0 users with the LMS API license
• Skyward Qmlativ users with the OneRoster® API license
• Follett Aspen users of version 6.2 or above

Learn more about:

• SIS grade export availability
• SaaS supportability

Other SIS partnerships are in development.

If you use Classroom with Google Workspace for Education, you can export grades directly to your student information system (SIS). After your administrator sets up the connection, you can link your classes to the SIS and export grades.

Tips:

• Grade categories carry over differently for each SIS. If you export grades to:
  • Aspen and Skyward SMS 2.0 and Skyward Qmlativ SIS:
    • Grade categories carry over if the category titles match. If they don't match, your grades might be assigned to a default category or marked as "Uncategorized.”
  • Infinite Campus SIS:
    • When connected with OneRoster 1.1: Grade categories don’t carry over when you export your grades to your SIS. Your grades might be assigned to a default category or marked as "Uncategorized.”
    • When connected with OneRoster 1.2: Grade categories carry over if the category titles match. If they don't match, your grades might be assigned to a default category or marked as "Uncategorized.”
      • If you're not sure which OneRoster version you use, ask your administrator.

Link a class and export grades

Link a class to your SIS

2. Click Add Create class.

3. Next to Link with, click the Down arrow and select your class from the list.

   Tip: If your class isn’t on the list, the class isn’t set up in your SIS. You can finish creating your class now, and follow the steps to link an existing class later.

Export grades to your SIS

After you link your class to the SIS, you can export grades. You can only export returned grades. Draft grades don’t export to your SIS.

   Sign in with your Google Account. For example, [e-mail] or [e-mail]. Learn more.
