Uploading Grades to Faculty Services Centre

A gentle reminder for all instructors to submit final student grades to the Faculty Service Centre (FSC) after posting the grades on Canvas. All final grades must be submitted to FSC either:
(1) 7 business days following the examination date OR
(2) 5 days following examination dates written on the last 2 days of the examination period.
Please refer to the FSC User Guide for information on uploading grades (p. 16-24) and other features of FSC. Additionally, please refer to LT Hub’s Uploading Canvas Grades to FSC Guide for instructions on downloading the Canvas gradebook (.csv file), reformatting and then uploading it to FSC.

UG Computing Lab Refresh & New Term Preloading
|
If you are teaching in UG computing labs this term, please inform your students to get their data off any UG machines by
Dec 24 by themselves. Between Christmas and the New Year, all the UG systems will be wiped off student data and then readied for the next term. Non-Forestry student access will be removed.
If you are teaching next term in computing labs, email forestry.ithelp@ubc.ca the course name. The IT Team will preload any non-Forestry students in to the system so that they can sign in. If requiring the remote only systems, ensure to comment on this in the email so the IT Team can add the students to the correct list.
