UTS has moved to an automated end-of-session grades submission process within UTSOnline. In a few simple steps, UTSOnline will export results directly from Blackboard’s Grade Centre and into CASS. For many, this process streamlines the management of results by removing the need for a duplicate SLS spreadsheet. For some, it will involve the use of the Grade Centre for the first time.

You may already have noticed three new columns have been added to your subject’s Grade Centre.

There are some simple steps you need to take at the start of session, and some at the end. Each of these links will take you to detailed instructional walkthroughs, which cover both academic and faculty admin roles. For subject coordinators:

• Setting Up Your Grade Centre for Automation at the Start of Session
• Finalising, Adjusting, and Submitting Your Grades at the End of Session

There are additional instructions for Faculty Admin:

• Grade Submission Automation Processes for Faculty Admin & Support

If you mark in REVIEW, REVIEW can now push grades directly across to the Grade Centre without the need to export and upload any extra files. For full instructions, check out:
