In order to complete the steps below to implement Grade Passback from Canvas to Infinite Campus, you must first Prepare for Canvas Grade Passback to Infinite Campus.  

Before using Grade PassBack (GPB), your Canvas assignment group names must align to the grading categories in Infinite Campus.  Please read our blog post, Preparing for Canvas Grade Passback to Infinite Campus.

You can set up a graded assignment, quiz, or graded discussion to be sent to Infinite Campus.  A good rule of thumb is to remember that grades in the Canvas Gradebook can be sent to Infinite Campus.

When creating an assignment, please keep in mind the following requirements:

  • An assignment name must be 30 characters or fewer.
  • The course and any assignments must be published.
  • Assignments must be assigned to the entire course or section. Infinite Campus does not support GPB for differentiated assignments at this time.
  • Assignments must include a due date that is the same for all students in the section or course.

As a reminder, before syncing grades from Canvas using Grade Passback (GPB), you must comply with the following requirements:

  • An assignment name must be 30 characters or fewer.
  • The course and any assignments must be published.
  • Assignments must be set to sync to Infinite Campus.
  • Assignments must be assigned to the entire course or section. Infinite Campus does not support GPB for differentiated assignments at this time.
  • Assignments must include a due date that is the same for all students in the section or course.

Once you have met the requirements listed above, you will have the option to choose the assignments you want to sync to Infinite Campus and when you want to sync.  GPB is instructor-driven and is a tool you can use to make syncing grades from the Canvas gradebook to Infinite Campus more efficient.

You can view details about completed grade syncs from your Canvas course to Infinite Campus in the Grade Sync page. The grade sync history list displays data for each sync that you run in your course.

Grade sync details include information about the overall success of a sync, the amount of data extracted and filtered from Canvas, errors, warnings, and information about affected sections, assignments, and grades.

The Grade Sync page also includes an option for you to Remaster Grade Passback.  You can re-sync your entire Canvas gradebook to Infinite Campus in the Grade Sync page. Remastering grade passback for your course re-syncs your Canvas course gradebook to your Infinite Campus gradebook. However, unlike a typical grade sync, you cannot select or deselect assignments to include in the sync. A remaster sync includes all grades for all assignments that you have set up to sync with the SIS.
