This will be granted at the request of line managers in the Support Centres - please log a DTS support ticket. When ready to export marks to RISIS, go to Control Panel &gt; Grade Centre &gt; Full Grade Centre Click on Manage &gt; Mark Approval and Transfer. On the \u2018Course Grade Approval and Transfer\u2019 screen it is possible to approve all marks for all assessments on this course DO NOT DO THIS! You will nearly always want to drill down at least to assessment level, and probably to the lowest level where individual students are listed. Tick the box next to Course ID, and press Grade Column Approval and Transfer. All [IC] Grade Centre columns on the course will be listed. Tick the one for which you wish to approve grades, and press Grade Approval and Transfer. All students are listed, with a column showing the grade for that assessment. Press the tick box at the top to select them all. Or select specific students. Why might you extract or approve only some marks? Some of the marks showing might not yet be final marks \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In Schools which do not have a separate post-deadline submission point. \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For assessments with staggered deadlines for different groups, \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Where there are non-taught module occurrences (e.g. H,J,V) and single assignments have been mapped to multiple Grade Centre columns. Sorting the Grade Approval screen You can click on any of the column headings to sort the list e.g. sort by Student Name, Child Course ID. &nbsp; If necessary, scroll down so you can see the options at the bottom of the screen. Press Approve Grades\u00a0or\u00a0Extract Grades. \u00a0 The status of the mark for each student will be updated to &#8216;Approved&#8217; or &#8216;Extracted&#8217;. If you press Approve Grades\u00a0marks will be transferred to RISIS at scheduled times &#8211; currently at 5:00, 9:00,\u00a011:00,\u00a013:00 and 15:00 (UK time) Monday-Friday. At that point, the status of the student marks will be updated to &#8216;Extracted&#8217;. If you press\u00a0Extract Grades, this will send marks immediately to RISIS. The status for the student changes immediately to &#8216;Extracted&#8217;. This cannot be undone, so please be sure that everything is in order before pressing Extract Grades. If you realise that you have Approved some marks in error, you have until the next scheduled extraction time to Unapprove these. Once Extracted, any corrections will have to be made in RISIS - marks cannot be sent from Blackboard to RISIS more than once. See more: How are marks sent from Blackboard to RISIS? &nbsp; Merged courses On Merged courses the Grade Approval screen shows each student\u2019s child course ID. If approving all marks, the system will ensure that the students\u2019 marks go to the correct place in RISIS. But there may be times when you need to pass the marks only for one of the merged courses. Where necessary you can select the marks to approve based on the Course ID column. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;","og_url":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/2018\/12\/19\/ema-integration-marks-approval-and-transfer-approving-marks-for-transfer-to-risis\/","og_site_name":"Blackboard Help for Staff - University of Reading","article_published_time":"2018-12-19T16:09:07+00:00","article_modified_time":"2021-02-04T12:33:55+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2018\/06\/i-100-2.png"}],"author":"andyturner","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@UniRdg_TEL","twitter_site":"@UniRdg_TEL","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"andyturner","Estimated reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/2018\/12\/19\/ema-integration-marks-approval-and-transfer-approving-marks-for-transfer-to-risis\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/2018\/12\/19\/ema-integration-marks-approval-and-transfer-approving-marks-for-transfer-to-risis\/"},"author":{"name":"andyturner","@id":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/#\/schema\/person\/1d09060138ab1f1c4edd0c81ae508fd5"},"headline":"EMA Integration: Grade Approval and Transfer &#8211;
