If your course’s grades are complete and accurate in eCampus, you can save a great deal of time after midterms and finals by having Grade Sync send the grades to the STAR system. Before you can sync grades to STAR, you will need to make sure the Overall Grade has been set up, and that all grades are Posted for student viewing. The GradeSync tool uses the Overall Grade as the designated ‘external’ column to transfer automatically.
