Grades to Banner

 

Grades to Banner

Beginning with Summer 2024 term, Banner will use the Intelligent Learning Platform (ILP) to create Canvas course shells and enroll faculty and students into courses. When records are created or updated in Banner, they will be updated immediately in Canvas as those changes occur. Most notably, during open grading, faculty will have the ability to submit grades directly from Canvas to Banner using the “Grades to Banner” functionality. This consists of reviewing/modifying the pre-populated letter grades, entering any required last dates attended, and then pushing a button to submit grades to Banner, thus eliminating multiple entry. Please note that faculty may still choose to enter grades into Self-Service Banner (SSB) manually if they desire.
