Troubleshooting

• Grabbing issues?

• Make sure you are in the correct view based on the information you want to grab.

• Gradebook: Total Column

• Make sure "Name" is selected in the All Students column

• Reports > Assignment: Score Column

• Select Percent or Points for the Score

• Make sure "Name" is selected in the Student column

• Receiving an error message? Find the associated help article in our Troubleshooting Area.

• Grades not filling into your next gradebook?

• Do the rosters match? Check to see if the names on the page in Aleks look the same as they do from where you're trying to 'fill'. You can look at the pop-up summary or in the briefcase to see what's been grabbed.

• If you've got the right class, look more closely at the student names to see if there are naming discrepancies, like typos, middle names, or other formatting issues. To fix name discrepancies, go to the Advanced Settings within GradeTransferer and use the Pattern Remover or the Name Discrepancy Fixer to teach GradeTransferer how the names should be recognized.

• Check the platform specific directions for the gradebook you are attempting to fill into.

🎯 Remember to always review transfers for accuracy and completion. The GradeTransferer service can significantly speed up the transfer process and cut down on errors. However, just as with manual grading, it is the teacher's responsibility to verify that grades are correct within their gradebook.
