Campus Instruction
• Campus’ regular supported platforms and browser
combinations apply, with the exception of Internet
Explorer.
– Browser needs to be version 10.
– If you are on any IE version prior to 10, you will receive an error
message popup.
• Infinite Campus does not support Internet Explorer 11 in
any feature/application.
• Infinite Campus does not officially support the use of the
Campus web application on mobile devices and tablets.
– Although any Campus application may work in unsupported
platforms and browsers, “unsupported” means if a problem is
identified, Campus won’t guarantee it will be corrected in the
future.
App Switcher and Index
• When a user logs in for the first time, they will need to
access the app interface using the App Switcher in top
right-hand corner.

Account Settings
• Account settings are not linked to specific sections, they
are linked directly to the user’s account login.
• Preferences:
– Choose which page is displayed when the user logs in.
• Campus Tools
• Campus Instruction
– Show Active Students Only.
• This differs from “hide dropped” because incoming students will not be
displayed in the areas indicated.
– Show Student Number.
– Show Student Picture.
– Use Seating Chart for Attendance.
• This requires seating chart creation to take effect.
• The “Attendance List” toggle in Attendance displays a student list only.
– Checking “Use Seating Chart…” will not require a chart for every section or prevent a user from
taking attendance if a chart isn’t created.

Numeric Grade Book Vocabulary
• An Assignment is a single scored-work item or nonaligned (non-scored) activity distributed to students.
• A Category is a “type description” of similar Assignments
grouped within a Task.
• A Task (Grading Task) is a score that is usually reported
by Term, and is sometimes used to calculate a final
score at the end of the year.
• A Posted Score is a score that has been exported from
the Grade Book or entered into a Grading Task by hand.
• Composite Grading is the calculation of specified tasks
used to determine a final grade.
• A Grading Scale determines which scores a student may
receive, and dictates how to handle rounding-off decimal
values.
Score Calculations (Numeric
with Grading Tasks)
• Grade Book calculates scores for each term, task, and
section based on the user’s Grade Calc Options
selections.
• Within each course/section, there are two basic types of
calculation for each grading task.
• No Calculation: Nothing will calculate in Gradebook.
– No Calculation is often preferred for non-numeric Pass/Fail scoring of
assignments.
• In Progress Grade: Allows you to select a grading scale and choose
calculation methods.
– A grading scale must be chosen here to tell grade book how to round off decimals
for each calculated score, based on your district/building/department’s grading
policy.
with Grading Tasks)
• The Grade Book default calculation is based on
unweighted points for the task.
– Total points earned are divided by total points available.
– Ex.: A student is assigned 13 assignments with various point
totals and all possible points added gives the student the
potential to receive 1650 points within the grading task for
the term.
– The student earns a total of 1458 points on all assignments.
– Grade book default calculation = 1458/1650 = 88.363636
• A grading scale must be chosen to guide Grade Book to score this
student with an 88, a B+, etc., based on your
district/building/department’s grading policy.
with Grading Tasks)
• For each task, there are alternate calculation methods
available.
– Weight Categories: Category score totals may be “heavier” in the
task calculation (i.e. Test category is two times more important
than the Class Participation category [4:2 ratio])
• If unchecked, all categories are calculated evenly using the default points
calculation [1:1 ratio], even if weights are assigned in the category detail
with Grading Tasks)
– Ex.: “tests” weight = 4, “homework” weight = 1, “class
participation” weight = 2
• For the task/term, a student receives:
–
–
–
–
258 earned of 300 points possible in “tests”
48 earned of 50 points possible in “homework”
56 earned of 60 points possible in “class participation”
Divide earned/possible values to get the percentage for each calculated category:
» 258/300 = 86
» 48/50 = 96
» 56/60 = 93.33
– Multiply the percentages by their weights
» 86*4 = 344
» 96*1 = 96
» 93.33*2 = 186.66
– Add the weighted percentages
» 344+96+186.66 = 626.66
– Divide by the sum of all weights (4+2+1=7)
» 626.66/7 = 89.52285714285714
» round off to two decimal places, “4 or lower” rounding down, and “5 or higher” rounding
up if the thousandths decimal place doesn’t equal zero
with Grading Tasks)
– Use Score’s % Value: Assignment earned points may be
calculated evenly, despite the “total points” value set for an
assignment.
– Ex.: 15 points scored on a quiz with 20 total points will be scored
equally to a 75 on a 100-point quiz, because 15 is 75% of 20.
– FAQ - Can both boxes be checked at the same time?
• Absolutely. Weight Categories alters how Category scores are calculated in
relation to one another, Use Score’s % Value alters how Assignment scores
are calculated in relation to one another.
– FAQ - Can I leave both boxes unchecked (do I have to check a box?)
• Leaving both boxes unchecked defaults to the points-only calculation
method. The only required field is to select a grading scale for the Posted
Task Score.
Standards Grade Book
Vocabulary
• An Assignment is a single scored-work item or nonaligned (non- scored) activity distributed to students.
• A Category is a “type description” of similar Assignments
grouped within a Standard.
• A Standard is a benchmark of student ability that is
usually reported by Term, however they are not usually
“calculated” into a final score at the end of the year.
• A Rubric is a set of values that substitute for verbal
commentary about a student’s proficiency when
commenting on a Standard.
• A Posted Score is a score that has been exported from
the Grade Book or entered into a Standard by hand.
Score Calculations (Standards
with Rubrics)
• For a section with Standards assigned, there is a special
“proficiency estimator” calculation method for rubric
scores.
– Although Rubric scores may contain numbers, they are not
numeric. Since verbal commentary can’t be calculated as a
numeric value can, different methods of estimating a student’s
proficiency have been created to assist a teacher in evaluating a
collection of individual assignment standard scores.
with Rubrics)
• Proficiency Estimate (Rubrics)
– Highest Score – displays highest score achieved by the
student for this standard, regardless of when score was
received or to which assignment it’s connected.
– Mode of Last 3 – displays the mode of the last three
scored assignments (based on due date.)
• 3 assignments linked to the standard are required to populate.
– Mode of Last 5 - displays the mode of the last five scored
assignments (based on due date.)
• 5 assignments linked to the standard are required to populate.
Mode: the score which occurs most often in a result set.
Mode of 3: 3,2,3 MODE= ‘3’
Mode of 5: 4,2,3,4,4 MODE= ‘4’
Mode of 5: 4,2,3,2,4 MODE CAN NOT BE DETERMINED
with Rubrics)
• Proficiency Estimate (Rubrics)
– Power Law – creates a numeric equivalent to each “level”
of the rubric based on the passing checkmarks, averages
the related scores, and re-converts to the rubric score
associated with that number.
• A minimum of 2 assignments linked to the standard are required to
populate a Power Law estimate.
• Campus suggests that for the most accurate estimation using
Power Law, assign standards to a student/assignment frequently
and consistently throughout the term.
– Most Recent - displays the most recent score awarded
based on assignment due date.
Grade Book Setup
Grading Scale
• Typically, scoring is
configured from the “bottom
up”: Assignment Scores
are sorted by type
(Category Scores,) then
Category Scores build into
Grading Task scores, and
then Grading Task scores
build into Composite
Grading scores.
– For Campus to calculate
these scores properly, a user
must set the preferences in
the opposite order.
Composite Grade (Final Score)
Grading Tasks (Report Card Scores)
Categories
Assignments
Grade Book Setup
• Grade Book tools are nested directly in the application there is no need to access another area to create the
grade book framework.
• Regular “troubleshooting” rules apply; if step 1 and/or step 2 is skipped,
Grade Book may not function as expected.
– Skipping the Grade Calc Options step will cause the “In Progress” area to remain blank.
– Skipping the Category creation will delay creating/saving quick-add (+Add) assignments.
• The process to set up the grade book remains the same
as Java grade book.
– Expand Settings. (triple chevron/arrow)
– Navigate to the Grade Book Setup area.
– Click Grade Calc Options.
• You may see a warning that no selections
currently exist. If so, click Continue.
Grade Book Setup
• If the Grade Calculation lists Terms and Tasks or
Standards as All/All, you may fill every item at once, or
click Show All to see the names of every term/task and
term/standard combination related to the course.
– Grading Tasks and Standards will be listed separately.

Grade Book Setup
• Choose the mathematical calculation type based on
teacher preference or department/building/district policy.
– If the task is a numeric-scored Task, select a Grading Scale, and
choose In Progress Grade or No Calculation.
– If the task is a Standard, choose Proficiency Estimate (Rubrics)
and select an estimator method.
• Make sure all tasks/standards are addressed for each term.
Grade Book Settings
• Composite
– When opening “Show All”, a check box appears under the
Composite column, indicating that you may combine the scores
from other tasks into this grading task (i.e. four Quarter scores
combine to create the Final Grade.)
• Ex.: Check Final Grade to add tasks below that will accumulate into the Final
Grade score.
– If no Admin composite is set on the course level, you may be
able to configure your own composite scoring.
– If Admin has set a composite and left it unlocked, you may be
able to change the admin composite.
– If Admin has set a composite and locked it, you may view the
admin composite, but access to edit will be grayed-out.
Grade Book Settings
• Check the task that calculates based on other scores.
– Click Add to add Tasks and Weights if no pre-existing composite
is present.
• Clicking the blue “x” removes record.
• A task may not be used twice within the same section when calculating the
composite grade.
– The Effective Percent will display in the right-hand column so
you may see how each entry is affecting the final score.
– Remember to click save when exiting any popup window.

Grade Book Setup
• Grade Calc Options must be set PER SECTION for all
tasks, standards, and terms.
• Grade Calc Options DO NOT COPY from section-tosection while copying categories and/or assignments.
Grade Book Setup
• Create Categories.
– A Category allows an assignment to be linked to a task (or
standard) for scoring.
– In Settings, click Categories.
• If Categories already exist, your current category list will appear with the
scoring properties tied to each.
– Display items can be edited without opening category details, but clicking save is required.
– For the full editor of an existing Category, click on its name.
• If no Categories exist, click Add.
Grade Book Setup
•
Required fields:
–
–
–
•
Name: The name must be unique.
Weight: The score ratio as compared to
other categories; many people are
comfortable expressing the weight as a
percentage, but this is not required.
Remember that categories with zero
weight will not calculate when “Weight
Categories” is checked in Grade Calc
Options. (n x 0 = 0)
Optional fields:
–
–
–
Sequence: Set Categories to sort
numerically by sequence number instead
of default alphanumeric sorting.
Exclude from Calculation: Scoring is
ignored in this category when calculating
the task/standard score.
Drop Lowest Score: Drops the lowest
score from calculation, and requires a
minimum of two scores to take effect;
then adds a strike through and a dropped
flag to lowest score.
Grade Book Setup

•
Category Placement: Lets you select
which sections will use this category
based on COURSE number.
– Sections with shared teaching
assignments will be treated as a
separate course, even if the course
number matches.
– All terms must be selected for the
category (by default).
Use the scroll bar on the right.
Grading Tasks: Select which task(s) or
standard(s) this category may use when
creating assignments tied to this
category. Campus suggests linking
categories to only one grading task at a
time, but several standards may be
linked to any category.
Save when done. Create other
Categories as needed.
Grade Book Setup
• Create assignments.
– Assignments may be linked to students for scoring.
– In the Grade Book header, select a Section and click “+Add”.
• The term and task header selections are irrelevant because alignments are
set in the assignment editor popup, but the originating section selection
needs to be correct.
– Name: The name the parent/student will see on the Portal.
– Abbreviation: A shortened name that will appear in Grade Book header (max. 5 characters)
» Add Notes: Internal notes that do not display. Use this area for personal reference, or
communicate with another teacher if working in a shared section.
– Section Placement: At least one section must be chosen, but multiple sections of the same
course may be selected.
» If sections of the same course number are shared with another Grade Book user
(teacher), they will be listed as a separate course selection.
Grade Book Setup
» Check whether or not the assignment is active; inactive assignments are accessible, but
do not count toward the scoring calculation.
» Check whether to display the item on the portal; items that aren’t displayed are still
calculated into the grade summary totals that are seen on the portal.
» Set the Assigned date. (This field defaults to today. Assignments set for future dates will
display in portal as soon as they are saved, even if it’s before the assigned date begins.)
» Set the Due date; DUE DATE DETERMINES IN WHICH TERM THE ASSIGNMENT
CALCULATES.
» GB Seq: Set the sort numerically (by sequence number instead of default alphanumeric
sorting.)
» Student Group: If groups have been created, apply the assignment to only a portion of
the roster.
Grade Book Setup
• Use the scroll bar on the right.
– Scoring Alignment Detail:
» Align to Grade Book: Check mark makes the assignment a score-based item as opposed
to an unscored activity.
» Grading Tasks/Standards: Set which tasks/standards this assignment calculates in; set
category, points total, marks, or rubric scoring, and add a multiplier if necessary.
– Information for Students:
» Description, Objectives, and References text box messages display on the portal for
student and parent clarification; same HTML formatting bar abilities as other areas of
Campus.
Grade Book Setup
– Student Work Product: If enabled in your district, enable student rights to submit assignment
responses and/or attachments via the portal.
» Enable Student Submission: Editor allows a student to communicate via portal text with
the teacher through the assignment; File Attachments allows a user to add an
attachment to an assignment as well as receive attachments back from the students.
» A teacher will see student submissions, messages, and online assessment responses
under the expanded assignment detail or the assignment popup’s “Score” link.
» Attachment limits (size, quantity) are governed by a Campus Administrator.
» Campus prohibits certain file types that are potentially dangerous (i.e. executable files.)
» Grade Book is only a carrier for files; end users must have the programs to open/save
the attached file types (i.e. users must have Office 10 for better to open an .xlsx (Excel)
file type that is sent/received.)
– Enable Online Assessment: If enabled in your district, distribute an assessment to students via
the portal and receive student responses via grade book for scoring and analysis.
• Be sure to click Save after setting assignment properties.

scores display as individual bars pointing
away from the “axis of proficiency” (median of
the rubric, based on passing check
mark/sequence placement.)
– Pass/Fail Coloring for Grades:
• Red is for Failing, Green is for Passing, based
on passing checkmark/sequence placement
in score group or rubric (only for posted and
in-progress scores - “grade” columns.)
– Pass/Fail Coloring for Scores:
• Red is for Failing, Green is for Passing, based
on passing checkmark/sequence placement
in score group or rubric (this only applies to
individual assignment scores.)
• Assignments are evaluated as passing or
failing by their percent value, regardless of the
actual value on the grading scale.
– Ex.: 8 of 10 points = 80% = Passing, where 8 of 100
points = 8% = Failing
*Passing scores must be sequenced together in score group, grading scale,
and/or rubric for Grade Book to recognize the pass/fail indication.

• Using Rubrics in Campus Instruction.
– Proficiency Estimate is based on the selected calculation
method.
• Grade Book> Settings> Grade Calc Options.
• Calculation Type: Proficiency Estimate (Rubrics).

Total score comparison.
Number of total scored students.
– A score entered outside of the rubric designations will display an “Invalid Score
Input” flag with a “corner mark” and strike-through.
• The expanded student view is a variation of the Box-and-Whisker diagram.
It shows scores as yellow circles, but the comparison to other students in the
section are displayed as a distribution bar graph, with rubric sequence
scores displaying top-down from left-to-right.
– Scores outside of the rubric range aren’t displayed in bar graph.
– The total number of students with this score is listed at the top of each
bar.
• Hovering over a student’s score in the Categories or InProgress fields will display all of the scoring options.
– The method selected by the user (to estimate a proficiency
score) is underlined.
• The preferred method (in Settings> Grade Calc Options) may be displaying
“N/A” due to a lack of linked scores or an insufficient pool of scores to make
an estimate.
– Other methods are displayed (so a user does not have to change
Calc Options to view whether another estimate method will
return a different value.)
• Each standard must be scored separately in Grade Book
view. If an assignment is linked to several standards,
the header selection must be changed to score the
assignment completely.
• For this reason, it is easier to open the assignment editor
and use the “Score” link in the assignment detail, or
expand the assignment toolbar to use “Multi Score.”
– Through this view, all the standards linked to the assignment
may be scored at the same time to ensure completion.
• Hover over the standard group’s name to see a popup of the standard’s full
description.
Post Grades
• Replicates the function of the Campus Tools’ “Grading
by Task” and “Grading by Student” tools.
– Select a section and term to be scored.
– Select a Task or toggle to Post by Student view.
• Student names are still “clickable” links for an individual summary report.
– Parent/Guardian emails are “clickable” and will open your default email program.
– When the Grading Window is open, the “Fill Percent, Grade,
Comment” button is active.
• Enter all fields as usual.
• “Use Canned Comments” must be selected in Grade Book settings for the
“Add” canned comment button to appear.

Grade Book FAQ
•
Do my category weights have to total 100%?
–
–
•
Can I change/add/delete categories after some scores have been entered?
–
–
–
•
Deleting a category is ONLY acceptable if no assignments are stored in the category. Campus will pop up a warning message
about assignments and scores contained within a category if you attempt to delete it. If you don’t want to use a category within a
certain term, or if you want to discontinue using a category, it must remain within the Grade Book for historical grade-tracking
purposes. (You may want to change alter the name to indicate it should no longer be used. A good solution is to add asterisks
[***] or the word “old” to the “decommissioned” category, so you may create a category with new scoring properties, but with the
same general name.)
Adding Categories is always OK. Just be sure to consider your weighting of all the related categories in which you’ll place
assignments for all future terms. You may want to consider making all new categories to “rebalance” your weights if you’re unsure
of the way the new category will affect the total score.
Changing a category is tricky. If you want to change a category’s scoring properties (by marking “exclude from calc.”, “drop
lowest score”, changing the weight, etc.,) all of the assignments already stored in that category will receive that alteration. If you
want to change the properties of a category, but don’t want to change any historical grades, create a new category and discontinue
using the exiting category. You should change the name of the new category to indicate that it is the “active” one, to prevent
alignment errors when creating new assignments. If you want all of the prior scores to receive the change, make your alterations
as necessary.
Can I change my categories’ percent values during the year?
–
•
No. A lot of people find it easier to conceptualize the score as a “whole” score when it equals 100, but each category weight is
really a ratio, so you can go below “100” by not using a category within a term (not linking any assignments,) or you can go over
100 by adding an extra category within a term. The student still has the potential to receive all scores on the grading scale.
i.e.: A category with a weight of 10 is one-quarter the weight (or one quarter as “effective”/”important”) when compared to a
category with a weight of 40; it’s a [4:1] four-to-one ratio. There is never the possibility that a student will only receive “50%” of
their grade by using only these two categories.
Yes, but changing the percent values will NOT affect scores already posted.
I changed a category’s scoring properties, but I don’t see any changes in my gradebook. How can
I update it?
–
–
Gradebook makes score changes at the time the “Save” button is clicked. For the Save button to turn orange, a score must be
changed. In gradebook, choose a random score within the updated category, remove it, Save, and then re-enter it and save again.
This will force a recalculation for all scores within the gradebook’s section. POSTED SCORES will not change if not re-posted
while window is open.
This also applies when changing an assignment’s scoring properties.
Grade Book FAQ
•
What’s the difference between “points” and “percent” in Grade Calc Options?
–
Points are the default (if “Use score’s % value” remains unchecked.) Points are just that, points scored divided by points available.
Percent value equates all available points and scores, so every assignment is equally weighted.
–
i.e.: An assignment scored 18 out of 20 points is equated to 90% of a possible hundred percent:
Points method:
Percent method:
Score 18
Score 18
Avail 20
Avail 20
Score 88
Avail 100
Score 88
Avail 100
Calculation methods:
(18+88) /120 = 88.333333
(90+88) / 200 = 89
Same scores, but different results!
Check with your department chair/administrator to see if there is a policy for which to use.
•
What happens if I don’t weight categories?
–
•
All categories are calculated with an equal weight, with the exception of those checked “exclude.”
What happens if I check both “weight” and “percent value”?
–
Points and percent values relate to assignment scores, while “weight” values relate to category scores.
“Use score’s % value” will still apply to assignments within each category, and the weighting will be applied to all categories within
the grading task.
•

Known Issue in Grade Book
• As of Release Pack 1450, there is a known bug with
grade book when copying assignments from one term to
another.
– Copying the assignment from one term to another completes, but
the assignment is saved in term 1, regardless of the due date.
– SIS-79707
– The temporary work-around is to open (to edit) the copied
assignment from the term 1 view, and save the assignment
again. This forces the assignment to save within the correct
term based on the due date.
• This happens copying via Planner from one course section to another (not
through assignment copying) and changing the due date at the same time.
• The cause for this is unknown, and the occurrence of the issue is
inconsistent.
Assignment Overview
• This page uses the same concept as “View Tree” in
Instruction> Assignments, but is laid out in a left-to-right
