Common Errors

Error Cause Next Step Excluded – User manually excluded from upload While adjusting grades this user was not selected to export. Export the grades to SIS again and ensure you have selected the checkbox to the left of the user. Date may not precede section start date. The last date of attendance was set to a date prior to the beginning of the course. Change the date to a date after the course start date, or remove the date and select “Never Attended”. Step #4 Invalid grade “## %” for scheme “FPABC” The selected scheme does not provide a letter grade appropriate for the course. A similar error will occur if a word or incorrect letter is passed for a course. I.E. a Credit / NonCredit course would only accept a CR / NC and not an A or the word Credit. Select or create a letter grade that will result in an appropriate letter. Step #1 Final grade cannot be changed once it has been verified. The grade for this user has been verified by the registrar already and cannot be overwritten by D2L. Contact the Registrar/Dean to confirm the grade in Colleague is accurate.
