Grade passback beta ready for participants!
Our grade passback using Buzz's SIS Sync (via OneRoster) is ready for beta!
Thanks to all those who signed up for our Grade passback beta! If you're interested, but haven't signed up, there's still time: System administrators can sign up to get ongoing updates about this feature and to have a chance to take part in our beta program.
- You must use the Buzz SIS Sync (via OneRoster).
- If you're not the system administrator in your organization, but want your school to participate, please send this form to your system administrator.
Grade passback participants must configure SIS Sync
Remember that, in order to participate, you must use the Buzz SIS Sync (via OneRoster). If you have signed up to participate, but haven't configured your SIS Sync, that is the first step.
Grade passback beta updates
In this release, we made the following updates to the Grade passback beta:
- Updated Grade passback Sync grade settings to allow Grading periods mapping, even if periods are disabled in Course settings or if it's a Continuous enrollment course (which doesn't use Grading periods).
- Updated Grade passback Synce grade settings to filter the Grading periods listed to include only those that align to the current OneRoster class.
