Exporting Grades to SiRIUS
Use the following instructions to export midterm and final grades from the Blackboard Grade Centre so they can be loaded into SiRIUS.

First, refer to SESD's instructions for entering final grades. Pay particular attention to the section called "Copy and Paste Grades from a Spreadsheet".

Then, use these instructions to export the grades.

Select "Grade Center" then "Full Grade Center" from the instructor's course management control panel in the bottom left of your browser window.
Select the "Work Offline" button from the upper-right corner of the grade center.
Select "Download" to download the grade center to a spreadsheet.
In Section 1 (Data) select "Selected Column" then in the dropdown box select which column contains the final grades. This will let you export just the grades you need for SiRIUS.
For "Delimiter Type" select "Comma". This makes it easier to load into MS-Excel.
Select "Submit" then "Download" to download this file.
Open the saved file in Excel (or your favorite spreadsheet program)
Delete all columns except for "Student ID" (the student number) and the grade column. In Excel you do this by right-clicking on the column heading then select "Delete".
Follow SESD's instructions given in the PDF document to copy the student numbers and grades and paste them into SiRIUS.

Note that in combined courses, you don't have to separate out the students. SiRIUS will ignore any extra students in the grade list.
