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

- pulling the marks from the Myplace gradebook
- typing the marks directly into the screens

Before you begin a marks return, please ensure you have thoroughly read Managing Returns and have performed each step in Preparation for a Return. |
Two methods for uploading a .csv file
There are two methods for creating a .csv file that can be uploaded to the marks return system:
- Use a spreadsheet you already have, ensuring the relevant columns are named correctly and saving it as a .csv (comma delimited) file. The marks return system will ignore any columns it doesn't need or recognise so there is no need to delete them.
- Download a spreadsheet from the marks return system, fill in the marks and then upload it.
The two methods are explained in more detail below.
