Why would I want to manually sync grades?

You will only need to manually sync grades if you have not set up auto daily sync or have a need to sync grades over immediately. 

How to Manually Sync Grades

1. Select your course D2L/Brightspace, then open the Hawkes Sync Tool.

2. Select the Assignment Grades tab.

3. Select the checkbox next to Student Name/Assignment Name to select all students and all assignments.

• If you have more than 40 students, you must open the Results drop-down menu and select Show All to view all students. Otherwise, all student grades will not be synced over.  
  

4. Select Sync to sync all grades over to D2L/Brightspace.

 

5. A confirmation page will load displaying what will be synced. Select all students again.

6. Select Continue.

7. Select Confirm, and the grade sync process will begin.

Assignment Grades Tab Notes & Best Practices  

• If you decide to manually sync grades over to D2L/Brightspace, it is best practice to sync at least once per week to minimize the time it takes for the grade syncing to be completed.
  
• We recommend setting up your assignment groups in D2L and categorizing the Hawkes assignments within them so that students see their accurate grade in D2L/Brightspace.
