Brief overview

The new Marks Return System is implemented as a replacement of the VAX system, which is being retired in 2019. The system has been developed in-house, with an aim of transferring marks to the Student Record system. The Marks Return System is a staging post between inputted marks and the Student Record system. Marks that are enterred into the system in either of the three methods possible become available for review. This allows for error-checking before sending them to the student record system. 

Driven by the Core Student Record

Almost all the data in the marks return system comes from the student record system so it is possibly more helpful to not to consider it part of Myplace.  The student details in a class return are drawn from the student record system and not from the students enrolled on the Myplace class.  Missing students cannot be added manually - they must be added by Student Business as they are when they register for a class.

Three methods for returning marks

There are three methods for delivering marks to the marks return system:

• uploading a .csv file with specified headings
• pulling the marks from the Myplace gradebook
• typing the marks directly into the screens

The methods vary in their efficiency and effectiveness depending on the business processes in the faculties and departments accross University. The most suitable method for delivering marks to the marks return system should be chosen on the basis of your department's processes and available resources.

Two screens in the Marks Return System

There are two main screens in the marks return system:

• Admin screen
• Class return screen

Guidance on their function and components is provided in the Marks Return system - the two main screens article.
