From lecturer scores to published results

Entered, sent, approved, published: who does what, and how to fix a mistake.

For administrators and lecturers · about 5 minute read · updated 31 October 2026

Results move through four stages, and only the last makes them visible to students. Each stage has one person responsible, so nothing is seen before it has been checked.

For lecturers

Open the course
From My courses. You see the students whose registration is approved.
Enter CA and exam
The total and grade appear as you type. A mark above the maximum, a negative mark or text is refused. Use 0 for an absent student.
Save, then send
Save as often as you like. When every student has a score, press Save and send to department.

For administrators

Review on Scores & results
Every course for the semester is listed with its lecturer, how many students are registered and scored, and its stage.
Approve or send back
Approve a course, approve everything waiting, or send a course back with a note the lecturer sees. You can also enter scores yourself and press Save and approve.
Publish
Publish for everyone, or for one programme and level. Anything not yet approved stays hidden.
Print the result sheet
Pick a programme to print every student's grades, GPA and CGPA for the semester.

Correcting a mistake

Frequently asked questions

No. Only published results are visible to students.

A course cannot be sent to the department until everyone on its list has a score. Use 0 for absent.

Grades are stored when saved. They change only if you change your grading scale, which re-grades every saved score after you confirm.
