Export marks to your SIS

This article is for teachers. Administrators, go here.

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

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

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

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

Learn more about:

• SIS mark export availability
• SaaS supportability

Other SIS partnerships are in development.

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

Tips:

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

Link a class and export marks

Link a class to your SIS

Before you can export marks for the first time, you have to link your class to the SIS. You only have to link a class once. Only the primary teacher can link a class to the SIS. You can link a new or existing class.

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.

4. To finish creating your class, enter your class details click Create.

   Your new class is linked to the SIS.

Export marks to your SIS

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

1. Go to classroom.google.com and click Sign in.

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

   Tip: Under Mark updates, you see the number of returned marks since your last export.
