Canvas to Banner Grade Submission Schedule

Good news! The Canvas to Banner grade submission performance has been significantly improved. 

Upcoming grade submission deadlines:

• 2nd Half Term Midterm Grading: November 3-5 (deadline: 12:00 PM on Nov 5)
  • How do I upload midterm grades from Canvas to Banner?
• Final Grading: November 24 – December 15 (deadline: 12:00 PM on Dec 15)
  • How can I upload final grades from Canvas to Banner?

To ensure smooth grade transfers: 

✓ Submit grades well before the noon deadline 
✓ For large courses (100+ students), submit in batches of 75 grades or fewer at a time

Submitting early and in smaller batches helps prevent system slowdowns during peak grading periods.
