Overview
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
Below are instructions for delivering marks to the marks return system by uploading a file.

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.
Using your own file
Step 2 - Ensure the columns are named correctly
The required columns are described below with the required column names in bold:

Please be sure to include all three columns, even if one of them is entirely blank! |
Step 3 - Save the file as a .csv
Click 'File' then 'Save As'.
Select a location to save the file.
Give the file a name.
In the dropdown 'save as type' box select CSV (Comma delimited).
Step 4 - Go to the marks return system
Log-in to Myplace
Click on Marks return admin in the 'Electronic marks return' block on the left of the screen
Step 5 - Check whether a return has been started for the class
Check the marks return admin screen to see whether a return has already been started for the class. You can do this by searching for the class code in the search boxes at the top.
If a return has been started, under Actions, select Edit.
If a return has not been started, select the class code from the dropdown list, and click Add new. Then give the return a name (see Naming Conventions in Preparation for a Return) and click Save.
Step 6 - Upload the file
From the buttons at the bottom of the screen, click Import.
Drag and drop your .csv file into the window then click Save changes.
Step 8 - Check and transfer
Check that you are happy with your marks return.
If you are ready to send it to the student record, click Transfer to student records. You can update or edit a marks return at any point up until the cut-off date/time, which is three hours before the exam board.
If you are not ready to send your return to the student record, click Save and then Close.
