This feature is in private preview
This feature is only available to select instructors invited to participate in the grade sync pilot. The feature will be available for all instructors during the Fall 2024 semester.
Instructors will have the option to push their WebCampus final course grades into their MyUNLV grade rosters. With this feature, instructors who use WebCampus to calculate grades will not need to manually enter grades into MyUNLV. For grade push to work, you will need to configure your WebCampus course and ensure all students have grades entered.
Preparing Your WebCampus Course
Enable a Grading Scheme
A grading scheme is required to convert scores within WebCampus to letter grades to send to MyUNLV. You can only use one grading scheme per course. If you have students who have opted for S/U grades, you will need to manually change them in MyUNLV.
All courses have a default grading scheme available, however, you can create a custom grading scheme to assign letter grades to score ranges.
- Open your WebCampus course. From left course menu, select Settings
- Toward the bottom, locate Grading Scheme and turn on Enable course grading scheme.
- From the drop down box, select the Default Canvas grading scheme. Or, if one has been created for your department/college select it from the list. You can confirm how grades will be translated to letter grades by selecting View (a). If you need to create a new grading scheme (b), you can create a new one.
- Select Update Course Details to save your settings.
Once the setting is applied, a letter grade will appear next to the percentage or total points isted in the Total column of your gradebook.
If you have students who have opted for S/U grades, you will need to manually change them in MyUNLV.
Assign zero grades to Missing Assignments in WebCampus
By default, WebCampus excludes ungraded assignments from the student's grade calculation, which may cause inaccurate final calculations. It is recommended that you enter a zero (0) for missing submissions. Zeros can be manually entered in the gradebook or you can set a missing grade policy to automatically assign a 0.
How WebCampus evaluates Missing Grades
A submission is labeled missing when the due date has passed and it has no submission. Before applying a missing grade policy to WebCampus Grades be sure that all graded items have updated due dates. If you copied content from a previous semester and apply a missing/late grade policy prior to updating the due dates, it will flag the students' submission as late or missing and automatically assign a 0 for each student. The only way to revert this is to manually remove all zeros.
Loading WebCampus Grades into MyUNLV
Once you have enabled your grading scheme and entered zeros for missing submissions, you are now ready to load your WebCampus grades into MyUNLV's Grade Roster.
Review your course and grades before pulling them into MyUNLV
Before pulling your grades into MyUNLV, verify:
- Your course has the correct grading scheme

- Student's final grade calculation is correct

Grades from your WebCampus course will be downloaded once you select Load grades. This may take a few minuites if there are many students in the section. Do not leave the page until the download is complete.
