Wrapping up the semester
Submit your grades
There is more than one way to submit final grades. if you have been keeping your grades in Canvas, the easiest way to submit them is to upload them to the Student Information System (SIS) from Canvas.
Once you have confirmed that your grades are correct, complete, and posted in Canvas, you are ready to submit them to the Registrar’s Office via the Student Information System (SIS).
To do this, go to the Canvas Grades tool, select the “IU Grading Tools” button at the top right, and select “SIS Grade Roster.” Your SIS Grade Roster should appear in a pop-up window. If your internet pop-up blocker is set to block all pop-ups, turn it off or change the setting to allow pop-ups in Canvas.
To complete the process in SIS, visit “Load final grades to the SIS Grade Roster” in the IU Knowledge Base.
If you have questions, please contact your campus teaching and learning center or your campus IT Support Center.
Important information about final grades and SIS
Grades must be entered into SIS so that the Registrar’s Office can place them on the students’ transcripts. If you do not put your grades in SIS, students will not have an official final grade for the class and instead, have a grade of NR indicating that grades were not received from the instructor. Not completing that final step of uploading grades to SIS can mean that students may not be
- able to receive financial aid
- awarded their degree
- allowed to return for the next semester
- allowed to compete in intercollegiate athletics
Please make sure you know when your final grades are due by looking at the official semester calendar for your campus (IU Indianapolis, IUB, IUN, IUS, IUSB, IUK, IUE) and get them into SIS before that deadline!
