Using GradeTransferer
This video will quickly walk you through how to use the GradeTransferer service! Then, check out the sections below for more detail and time-saving features.
Grabbing Data
Simply click the big, green "Grab Data" button on any supported page. The student names and grades that were grabbed will be shown in a popup summary.
Filling Data
Click into the first cell in the column where you want to fill the data on any supported page, then click the big, green "Fill Data" button. Your students' data will fill to the gradebook.
Scaling Data

Grab data normally

Click the 'Now' toggle switch to scale the data
Data in the briefcase is now scaled and you can fill it into your gradebook with its new values
Advanced Settings
Once you've got the hang of basic grabbing, filling, and scaling, you can start exploring some of GradeTransferer's other features, under Advanced Settings!
Name Discrepancy Fixer
In case students' names are listed differently between where you 'grab' and where you 'fill', you can teach GradeTransferer that the different variations belong to the same student.
Ex: "Jon_c423" ➝ "Jonathan C. Smith"
For more information, see our Name Discrepancy Fixer page.
Pattern Remover
Remove patterns that exist in student names that aren't part of their name.
Ex: "John C. (he/his) Smith YrOfGrad: 2024" ➝ "John C. Smith"
For more information, see our Pattern Remover page.
Score Converter
Automatically round grades (ie: 69.92% ➝ 70%) or convert text into numbers (ie: "missing" ➝ 0). You can also set map ranges of grades to one value (ie: 80-101 ➝ A).
For more information, see our Score Converter page.
Troubleshooting
Hard Restart Chrome: If Chrome isn't performing as expected, try pushing a hard restart by navigating to chrome://restart
Login Issues: Can't login? Checkout our Login Troubleshooting page for guidance.
Blocked: Blockers and filters can block communication with the service, learn more here.
Rosters Don't Match: Check to see if the names on the page where you are trying to fill are the same as the ones you grabbed. You can look in the briefcase to see what's been grabbed.
Naming Discrepancies: If you've got the right class, look closely at the student names to see if there are naming discrepancies, like typos, middle names, or other formatting issues. To fix name discrepancies, use the Pattern Remover or the Name Discrepancy Fixer to teach GradeTransferer how the names should be recognized.
Specific Platform Directions: Some gradebooks have particular instructions that need to be followed, such as opening a particular view or clicking into a column. Check the platform specific directions here and see if it resolves the problem.
Error Messages: You can find the most appropriate article in our GradeTransferer Knowledge Base.

🎯 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.
