Submit Grades to Banner

Check the Grading Schema: Letter

Check that you have a Grading Schema called Letter and that the grade ranges match your course policies.

  1. Go to: Gradebook > Gear Icon (upper right) (Right-side menu appears)
  2. Choose Manage Grade Schemas (top)
  3. Review the list of Grade Schemas to ensure you have one called Letter.
  4. Check the Grade Range % to ensure the Grade Range % corresponds with the letter grade listed in your course policies. (Ex: A = 89.5% - 100% OR A= 90% - 100%).
  5. If you only see Letter (no rounding), but none called Letter,  follow these steps:
    1. Click the pencil icon beside the title Letter (no rounding)
    2. In the Name field, delete (no rounding)
    3. Click: Save (Bottom)
  6. If you have trouble submitting grades, check that Letter does not have a space after it by clicking on the pencil icon. If a space is present, delete it and resubmit your grades.

Check that your overall grade settings are set to Weighted, Percentage, and Equally.

  1. Go to: Gradebook > Gear Icon (upper right) (Right-side menu appears)
  2. Choose Manage overall grade settings (middle of menu)
  3. Confirm the Calculation Type is set to Weighted.
  4. In the Overall Grade Setting section (right side) select that the overall grade is displayed in Percentage.
  5. Using the radio button (left side) change the grade weight of items within a category to Equally.

Important Notes


  • Remove Preview User: You must discard your student preview account data prior to submitting grades.
  • Check Grade Schema: You should have a grade schema named Letter, with no space after the name.
  • Post all Grades: Be sure to check that all grades have been posted prior to submitting grades to Banner.
  • Use Google Chrome when submitting grades to Banner, per TCSG recommendation.
  • Failing grades: Any student who receives an F grade must have a date entered in the Last Date of Attendance column. This is the last date of an academic submission.
  • Incomplete grades: If the instructor has submitted the required paperwork to the Office of Registration and Records to give the student a grade of Incomplete, the grade in ILP should be left blank to prevent overriding the Incomplete grade assigned by the Registrar.
  • Learning support classes require an asterisk (*) after the letter in the Final Grade column.  Learning support instructors will manually enter the asterisk after each letter grade.  (Ex: A*)
  • Work Ethics Grades: Courses that include a Work Ethics Grade require a number after the letter in the Final Grade column.  Separate the letter and number with one space.  Instructors will manually enter the number after each letter grade. (Ex: A 1)
  • Assistance: If you are unable to submit your grades, please submit a CTL Support Request.
