Import D2L Grades into Student Records System (ISRS)

Student grades are posted to the student records system using the eServices Faculty Application. If you are using the D2L Gradebook, you can use a grading option that allows you to import your D2L grades into the Faculty Application. Once the grades are imported, you can review all grades and make changes before you save and/or post the grades. This is an optional feature. You can manually enter grades into the Faculty Application if you wish.

To use this feature, there are 3 formatting requirements in D2L. Please carefully follow these instructions for each course.
