The Ellucian ILP passback tool is designed to make transferring grades from the Canvas gradebook to Banner easier for instructors. You may also submit your grades using one of the other methods on the Registrar's website for Banner Grade Entry.

Important things to note:

• Manually created sections cannot use this tool. (i.e. incompletes sections)
• You must use the grading schema that has been approved by the University Curriculum Committee.
• Only users with the Teacher role in Canvas can use this tool. (i.e. You must be entered in Banner as the instructor of record.) Students will not be able to see the navigation link for this tool.
• No midterm or final grade should be entered for an inactive student. For more information, please see: Inactive Students in Canvas - FAQs
• Once grades have been rolled over into Banner completely, you cannot make modifications within the tool in Canvas.
• The larger your course roster, the longer the tool will take to load. If it seems blank, allow a little time for it to process.
• Always verify in eServices that grades were successfully transferred from Canvas.
