Using the Oncourse final
grades gradebook
Beginning in fall 2004, you (as faculty of
record or proxy) may submit final grades
through Oncourse (www.oncourse.iu.edu).
Below is the general procedure for doing
this. You may wish also to see the
Knowledge Base document DRAFT:
Information on the Oncourse final grades
gradebook.
To find the final grades gradebook, under
the Tools tab of your course or master
course, click Online Gradebook(s). In the
"Gradebook List", click Official Final
Grades.
If you have kept grades on paper or outside
of Oncourse, you may simply want to enter
them manually as letter grades into the
"Grade Input" field. Otherwise, you may
import grades from an Oncourse
gradebook. To do so, in the first drop-down
menu under "Import Final Grades:", select
the gradebook. Then, in the second dropdown menu, select the assignment field
within that gradebook to use as the final
grade. Then click Import.
Note: The Oncourse final grades gradebook
will allow you to import numeric grades;
however, you cannot submit numeric
grades. You can either change the numeric
values manually after you import them, or
you can create a final letter grade field
within an Oncourse gradebook before
importing the grades to the final grades
gradebook.
All grades to be submitted must be letter
grades (e.g., A, A-, B+). "W" ("Withdrawn")
and "NC" ("No Credit") grades are preentered and are uneditable. If you give a
grade of FN ("Failing/Nonattendance"), then
you must type a date of last attendance into
the designated field. Other valid letter grades
are I ("Incomplete") and R ("Deferred"). If
there is an entry for a student in the
"Requirement Designation Option" field,
then you must make a selection in the
"Requirement Designation Grade" field for
that student. The "Designation" field
describes the basis of the requirement.
To save a final grades gradebook in process,
at the bottom of the screen, click Save. When
you are sure that you have given a letter
grade to each student and are ready to submit
your grades, click the Submit Final
Grades button. You must then click
Continue to confirm, or Cancel to abort.
Note: After submitting your grades, you
must contact the registrar directly to make
any changes.
After confirming, you will see a confirmation
number and date/time stamp at the top of the
screen. You may also export a copy of the
submitted grades as an Excel spreadsheet by
clicking the Export button.

Oncourse, please contact the IU East
