To sync your Yellowdig grade to your school's gradebook, you typically must access Yellowdig through the graded assignment link on your course page (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L, etc). This usually appears in the Assignments or Modules tab but may vary by your institution's setup. If you're having trouble finding the correct launch link and getting passback synced, try reaching out to your instructor or program coordinator to help.
In the meantime, any points you earn in Yellowdig will still count towards your grade. And your up-to-date grade will be passed back once grade passback is synced.
Important Passback Details
- Avoid External Links: Joining via an email invite or a direct share link will not establish grade passback. You must launch from your Learning Management System (LMS) to connect your accounts.
- Sync Frequency: Grades typically sync intermittently, approximately once per hour after a grade change occurs.
- "Grading Not Configured" Message: If you see this message at the top of your Community page, it means grade passback has not yet been set up for you personally. In an LMS like (eg. Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle) you can resolve this by clicking on the Assignments link for Yellowdig at least once. After that initial sync, you may use the sidebar link (Canvas) to enter the community.
- Manual Sync: If an immediate update is required, you can manually run a grade passback by clicking the ↺ Button within your "Point Details" overview. Learn more about this section here.
