How do I upload a CSV file to the Blackboard Grade Center?

Some instructors use Excel or a similar program to record grades outside of Blackboard. Data can be exported to a CSV file and then uploaded into the Blackboard Grade Center to display grades to students.

If you are uploading data to the Grade Center, be sure to include students' myBama username as a column in the CSV file. Blackboard uses the myBama username as an identifier.

  • myBama usernames can be collected as a required filed in the survey and it will be added as a column on the exported CSV file.

  • Users can manually add a column to an exported CSV file and add students' myBama username prior to uploading the file to Blackboard Grade Center.
