Submit Final grades using Canvas Grade Push
If you use Canvas, there is a tool to make reporting your final grades easier鈥攚ith a push of a button! The process is called Grade Push and it will allow you to 鈥減ush鈥 the final grades recorded in Canvas into our KSU Final Grade Roster, thus eliminating the time and effort spent manually entering them.
To access the Grade Push application, log in to then click Faculty & Advisors/Faculty Dashboard/Grading Resources and select Canvas Final Grade Push to submit grades.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the Grade Push application, please direct them to .
Please Note: The Grade Push application has been developed as an option to assist in streamlining the university grading process. The use of this application is not mandatory, though it is encouraged.
Incomplete Mark Workflow
The instructor must create and submit an Incomplete Mark contract via the new workflow. Instructors are no longer able to select the incomplete mark (IB+, IC+, IC-, etc.) from the final grade roster in FlashFAST (Self-Service Banner). The primary instructor must initiate and submit the contract using this new workflow process, which mimics the old paper process. Once the contract has been accepted by the student and approved by the department chair/campus dean, the student鈥檚 grade will be updated automatically. The primary instructor will be able to initiate and submit the contract for a student after the deadline to withdraw through the end of final grading.
Access the Incomplete Mark workflow in from the Faculty Dashboard under Grading Resources or Faculty Workflows.
NF/SF Administrative Marks
The administrative mark NF (Never Attended鈥揊ail) denotes that the student neither attended one class session nor formally withdrew from the course. If a student has never attended your course, mark the student as 鈥淣ot Started鈥 on the Academic Presence Verification Roster, and the NF will automatically populate to your Final Grades roster.
The administrative mark SF (Stopped Attending鈥揊ail) denotes that the student stopped attending the course and did not formally withdraw and must be accompanied by a date of last attendance in the course. If a student has stopped attending your course the SF can be entered on the Final Grade Roster along with the student鈥檚 last date of attendance.
