Table of Contents

The Marks Return system has two main screens, which are used for creating new and managing existing Mark Returns. 

The admin page contains information about all existing (previously-started) Mark Returns for the classes that a marks return administrator has access to. New class returns can be started from the admin page and it is also where Marks Return Administrators can check if a Marks Return for a class/ session has already been started.

The class return page contains information about the students that are registered for the class with Student Business, and is where you can enter marks, upload files or export marks through the MyPlace gradebook.

The admin page


The Search Bar allows searching for an existing Marks Return for a select class, as well as filtering existing returns according to whether they are active or transferred to the student records system. 

In orange is shown the bar, in which a text search can be performed. It is recommended that you use the textbox to always check for an existing return, before starting a new one.

In green is the first filter that can be applied. The options from the drop-down menu are Active/Inactive. Active returns are those, for which the exam board has not yet passed or that contain students, for which the exam board has not yet passed, thus enabling the option for editing and marks return. Inactive returns are those, for which no marks can be returned or edited. This could be a result of all students receiving marks or all scheduled exam board dates having passed.

In yellow is shown the second filtering option, which concerns whether a Marks Return has been Transferred to student records. The options from the drop-down menu are Transferred/Not Transferred. This filter is useful in situations, where you wish to check whether there are changes made in the Marks return system, which remain to be transferred to the student record system.

Class Code

Explanatory text

Column

The Class Code column allows you to view all the classes, for which a return has been started. Each Marks return is represented on one row. Therefore, you might find multiple rows with the same class code, however with different return titles and other characteristics.

Return Title

The Return Title column shows the title of the returns. 

Tip

It is recommended that a naming convention is agreed on a departmental or faculty level accross the univeristy. This will allow for a clear understanding amongst marks return administrators accross departments of the nature of the return, simply by browsing the admin page.

Actions Column

In the Actions column, there are four options available for a given marks return: View, Edit, Version History and Transfer History.

View opens the marks return and allows viewing. This screen is suitable for error-proofing as the view shows the marks return record, but does not allow for any edits to be made.

Edit opens the mark return and enables editing capabilities. This button will take you to the Class Return Page.

Version History opens a record of the version history of the marks return record, where you can view the changes made at various stages of its completion, as well as when and by whom the chanes were completed.

Transfer History opens a record of the transfer history of the marks return record, where you can view the instances when marks have been transferred to the student records system.

Pages

As the number of mark returns grows, the admin page will become paginated. You can access different pages by clicking on the numbers that appear on the top or bottom of the page.

Start a new Marks Return Section

The Start a new Marks Return section allows you to choose the class code that you wish to start a new return for and add a new return. 

Note

The Class Code drop-down menu will only contain the class codes of classes, for which you have been given a Marks Return Administrator role by the Course Administrator in Pegasus.

If you have this role already, your permissions should be transferred automatically to the new Marks Return system and no additional action is expected.
