Save time by adding in grading category information before exporting Google Assignments in Google Classroom

What’s changing

For teachers who export grades from Google Classroom to their student information system (SIS), it's important to make sure that all data is transferred seamlessly. Starting today, teachers can include grading category information when exporting Google Classroom assignments to the SIS.

Why it matters 

This highly requested grade export feature eliminates the previous experience of teachers having to manually change the grading category directly in their SIS, which was both tedious and prone to error. 


Getting started 

  • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. 
  • End users: 
    • To set up your gradebook with grading categories, go to classroom.google.com, click the class > select Class Settings > and set up your grading categories. 
      • Note: The grading category titles should match the exact text in your SIS gradebook. 
    • After setting up grading categories, assign a grading category when creating an assignment. To export grades with grading categories, click SIS export > select the assignment > click export. 
    • Visit the Help Center to learn more about exporting grades to your SIS.
