Instructors can export students' total grades in bCourses into a .csv format that can be uploaded into the E-Grades tool in CalCentral. The process for submitting grades from bCourses to CalCentral has two parts:

  1. Downloading your grades from bCourses into an .csv file.
  2. Uploading the .csv gradebook file into CalCentral.

 


PART A. Download Your Grades from bCourses

Step 1: GO TO YOUR GRADEBOOK

In your bCourses course site, click the Grades link on the course navigation menu.

Step 2: CLICK ON THE ‘E-GRADES’ BUTTON

Step 3 - SET A GRADING SCHEME and/or UN-MUTE ASSIGNMENTS

(1) If you have muted assignments, you will see another alert prompting you to un-mute them. Click on "Unmute All" to unmute all assignment columns that are currently muted.

(2) A grading scheme must be set for the course before continuing with the E-Grades export. If you have not enabled one, you will be prompted to do so. You can select the option to enable the default ‘Letter Grades +/-’ scheme from this alert page, choose another grading scheme, or create your own

(3) Click Continue to resume export.

Step 4: DOWNLOAD

You can download Current Grades or Final Grades.

Once you select one of the options, you will be prompted to save the .csv file of the Gradebook to your computer.
