How do I Import grades from an Excel (.csv) file into Gradebook2?
Instructors can import grades into the Gradebook2 tool using a formatted .csv file. A properly formatted .csv file containing all of the student information can be downloaded first from the Gradebook2 tool under Tools > Download New item Template.
Use this template to add/calculate your grades in Excel (or some other spreadsheet application) then import the file back into the Gradebook2.
Example of a .csv template file with the new grade information added.
