Submitting Grades to the Faculty Service Centre

This is the week to submit final grades for Term 2! Many instructors use Canvas to calculate students’ grades throughout the term, but final grades need to be submitted to the Faculty Service Centre (FSC). It’s possible to export grades from Canvas and import them into the FSC, but you’ll need to make sure you reformat the spreadsheet as Canvas’s Gradebook and the FSC sort student data differently.

Instructions on how to do this can be found here:https://wiki.ubc.ca/Documentation:LTHub/Canvas/UploadGradestoFSC#Step_2:_Reformat_file

More general info on the FSC here: https://facultystaff.students.ubc.ca/files/FSCUserGuide.pdf
