Infinite Campus FAQ
Which version of Infinite Campus is compatible with SIS integration?Google Classroom supports SIS integration for districts that run a SaaS solution that Infinite Campus hosts and manages. SIS integration is not available for districts with servers that non-SIS providers manage.
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.
- 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.
- 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.”
