We're working to improve your SIS sync experience

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:

  • Fixed an issue where the score status may not be reported correctly to the SIS.
  • Added a Send new grades automatically option which, when enabled, sends grades for each synced activity as soon as it is completed and graded.
    • As part of this change, we updated the language of the Allow teachers to send grades back to the SIS checkbox to read Allow grades to be sent to the SIS.
    • This option only appears if the Allow grades to be sent to the SIS option is enabled. 
    • This is best for continuous enrollment courses where students are meant to complete activities at their own pace rather than according to a set schedule. 

Help us strengthen our SIS sync support!

As part of a focused effort to enhance the way we support your SIS sync integrations, we are looking for your input and experience. If you are a teacher or administrator using Buzz's OneRoster SIS sync integration, please take a moment to complete a three-minute survey.
