Do's
-
When setting up "Grade Categories: Calculate by" use default of Total Points NOT by Percent
-
Categories must be mapped in the Configuration area of the Infinite Campus app (left side menu) for each section, even if linked, for each quarter.
- Map all 3 categories: Formative, Summative, and Unweighted (do this even if you do not plan to use it).
- Avoid lengthy assignment names.
-
If you delete an assignment in Schoology that you have previously synced to Campus, the assignment must be manually deleted in the Campus Gradebook.
-
All gradebook items must have a category assigned in order to be synced. Otherwise, an error will be reported.
-
Check Bulk Edit to be sure all graded items are published, assigned a category, assigned the only available Grade Task, assigned a due date within the term dates, and a Grading Period (Qtr#).
-
Review grades in Campus. Be sure posted grades in Campus match grades in Schoology, especially if there are overrides.
Don'ts
-
Don’t use the ‘Submitted’ flag in Schoology, it will incorrectly return a zero in Campus.
-
Don’t use ‘Drop Lowest’ in Schoology
-
Don’t use ‘Factors’ in Schoology
-
Don’t use “Round Period/Final Grades” in Grade Setup.
- Never unpublish assignments that have been graded.
Sync Issues
-
If your sync times out and produces errors, there may be too much information being sent from Schoology to Campus. Try syncing individual assignments, not in bulk.
- Ungraded items will not sync and will produce an error because it's not mapped to a category. If you want the item sync, then assign a category.
Check Sync Log (Clipboard icon) to check for errors often
Assignment scores are not to be edited in the Infinite Campus Gradebook (they should be edited in Schoology and re-sync to Infinite Campus.
Linked sections in Schoology have to be synced individually.
Teachers should sync grades frequently, ideally after entering grades in Schoology.
Teachers will post grades in Campus twice per quarter to the mid-quarter task and course grade task (end of quarter).

Grade Sync: The transfer of gradebook assignment data from Schoology to Infinite Campus.
Grading Category: A group of assignments. Each category has its own aggregated grade calculated from the assignments. Read more about category weights here. There are three categories for grades 6-12: Formative, Summative and Unweighted.
Gradebook Scale: The scale that translates the in-progress percentage to a letter grade.
In-Progress Grade: A calculation based on assignment scores entered in Schoology and sync'd to Infinite Campus Gradebook.
Posted Grade: A finalized grade in Infinite Campus that is displayed on a student's report card.
Grading Task: A type of grade that teachers post during a specific time in the quarter. The grading tasks for 6-12 grades are:
- Mid-Quarter: Reported half-way through the quarter from the in-progress grade.
- Course Grade: Reported at the end of the quarter from the in-progress grade. All assignments must be aligned to this task.
How to Post Grades
-
In-Progress Grades need to be posted to the Mid-Quarter and Course Grade grading tasks in Campus. Grades synced from Schoology do NOT automatically post.
Posting grades transfers grades (letter and %) from the Infinte Campus Gradebook to students' Grade tab (used for report cards). Access to post grades will be open for specific windows each term per the Secondary Grading Calendar.
