Beginning Spring 2024, faculty can enter final grades directly from Canvas to the standard faculty grade entry in Banner.
Grades entered through Canvas will update Banner. If you need to adjust grades after submitting them through Canvas, you can still do so through Faculty Grade Entry in Banner up until final grades are due. Once a grade is submitted to Banner, you cannot submit it again through Canvas.
This is an optional way to submit grades. You can also continue submitting through Banner.

Note: Final Grade Entry works best with Google Chrome. If you need to use Safari, you will probably need to disable cross-site tracking, which can stop third-party content providers from tracking you across websites to advertise products and services. In Safari on your Mac, choose Safari > Preferences, then click Privacy. Select the checkbox next to “Prevent cross-site tracking” to disable it. We recommend re-enabling this feature when done with grade entry.
- Go to your course menu and scroll to the bottom to select (1) Final Grade Entry.
- The Final Grade Entry screen will display a list of your students in last name order.
- Review the (2) Current Grade from the Canvas grade book.
- The Submitted column will display a check (3) if the grade has been submitted to Banner.
- If you are using a course Grading Scheme (to assign a letter grade equivalent), you'll see (4) the Final grade to be submitted to Banner as computed by Canvas. If you are not using a Grading Scheme, that field will be blank, and you can use the current grade to enter the Final letter grade. If you compute the final grade in Excel rather than in Canvas, you can still enter that grade in the Final grade column and submit it to Banner.
- If you assign an F to any student, you must also fill out the (5) Last Attended Date; otherwise, you can leave that field blank.
- When you are done, click on (6) Submit to submit your grades to Banner.
Once the grades are submitted, you'll see a confirmation message at the top of the screen, and there will be a check in the Submitted checkbox. If you need to adjust grades after submitting them through Canvas, you can still do so through Faculty Grade Entry in Banner up until final grades are due. Once a grade is submitted to Banner, you cannot submit it again through Canvas.
If a student has withdrawn from your class, they will appear in the Final Grade list with Inactive next to their name. You don't need to enter a final grade or last attended date for these students, as they have already been withdrawn in Banner.
If you need to submit an Incomplete for a student, you can enter the code RI instead of a letter grade in Canvas. The RI will update the Banner record.
You can verify or change the grades submitted through Canvas up until the semester due date by going to the standard Faculty Grade Entry in Banner from myHilltop.
