In Aula, it's possible to export grades into a CSV file that you can later use externally. If enabled on your institution's Aula account, you may also be able to export the grades directly to your university's Student Record System. This article details both options.

Exporting grades to a CSV file

You can export grades to a CSV file from Aula's Assignments tab, or using a Handin or Turnitin assignment tool.

  1. Head to Journey > Assignments.
  2. Locate the relevant assignment and click on the three dots symbol in the top right.
  3. Select Export Grades from a dropdown. The file will be download to your local drive in a CSV format.

  1. Open a relevant Handin assignment.
  2. Click on the three dots symbol in the top right.
  3. Select Export Grades from a dropdown. The file will be downloaded to your local drive in a CSV format.

The .xls file generated by clicking on the Grade Report option will include each student's details, submission title, the date of upload, word count, similarity score, and a grade.

If you click on Grade Mark PDFs, a zip file with all submissions will be generated. At the bottom of each submission, you will find a grade and written feedback, if added.

 

Exporting grades to the Student Record System

If your institution's Aula account is connected to the university Student Record System, you'll be able to export grades directly to SRS using the Student Success App. 

  1. As a first step, you'll need to make sure that you've mapped the assignments to assessment components, that all assessments have been graded, and that grades have been released to students.
  2. Next, head to Journey > Assignments > Student Success App.
  3. Click on the Export button next to the relevant assessment item(s).
  4. Once the export begins, the status will change to Exporting. 
  5. The export process can take some time. You can leave the browser open or navigate away and come back to it later. 

 

Possible outcomes

Export successful If the entire grade export is successful, the item will display Export completed in grey with a timestamp.

 

Export partially successful

If some students' grades were successfully exported and some failed, the item will display Export completed with errors with a time stamp.

Clicking on the red error message reveals a list of the students whose grades were not updated in the Student Record System with the error message for each student.

 

Export failed If the entire export fails, the item will display Export failed with a time stamp. 

If the export fails entirely, this might be due to some temporary connectivity issues. Feel free to try again. If you're still experiencing issues, you can get in touch with our Product Support team via support@aula.education or using the question mark in the bottom left corner of the Aula platform.
