TRACS now allows instructors to export their final grades from TRACS and upload them to CatsWeb for posting.
Exporting Final Grades from TRACS
[top]
You must first make sure that your grades are correct and that any course grade overrides have been performed prior to exporting them from the gradebook. You may need to perform course grade overrides for things such as attendance or extra credit points. For more information on how to perform course grade overrides please see the section called “overriding an auto-calculated course grade” in the gradebook help documentation.
Only the instructor of record will be allowed to import the final grades into CatsWeb.
