Infinite Campus FAQ
Which version of Infinite Campus is compatible with grade export?Google Classroom supports grade export for districts that run a SaaS solution that Infinite Campus fully hosts and manages. Grade export is not available for districts with servers managed by non-SIS providers.
Non-SIS providers:
- Infinite Campus software that runs through on-premise deployment
- Cloud deployments that Infinite Campus doesn’t manage
- District-hosted deployments that run across multiple organizations and admin groups
Important: Infinite Campus doesn’t control the maintenance and configuration of servers managed by non-SIS providers. Firewalls, query throughput and latency differences, and other factors may vary between deployments, which Google Classroom is unable to support.
- Grade export to classes in the SIS relies on the email address field for students, so a valid Google Workspace for Education email address is needed for successful export.
- Infinite Campus will assign a default grade category for all assignments. You can adjust this grade category later in Infinite Campus.
- Assignment titles are truncated to 50 characters when they are imported into the SIS.
- All co-teachers can export grades, even co-teachers outside your Google Workspace for Education domain.
- All assignments must have a due date and be within the grading period set up in Infinite Campus.
- 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.”
