You can use this feature when:
- The Moodle area has been synchronised, which means that the students’ role is synced in Moodle. You can check this in your Moodle area under Participants. Sisu-synchronised Moodle areas have been created on course pages (see Course pages – User instructions).
and
- The grade appears in the Moodle gradebook (under Grades) in the Course total column.
If the grade does NOT appear in the Course total column, choose option 2 or 3 or adjust the settings of the Moodle gradebook so that grades are automatically calculated in the Course total column. For advice on changing the settings of the gradebook, please see the Moodle.docs: Grades (Moodle.docs), complete Moodle training, or send an email to moodle@helsinki.fi.
You can export grades from the same Moodle area to Sisu several times. This does not affect previously confirmed passing grades. However, a failing grade will be replaced by a passing grade even if the grade has already been confirmed in Sisu.
It is possible to export grades from Moodle to Sisu one group at a time. In this case, set visible or separate groups to group mode from the course settings in Moodle.

I failed to send grades from Moodle to Sisu. What went wrong?
Check the following in Moodle:
- Has the Moodle area been ordered from the course page? Make sure that the participants’ role is synced in the Participants section of the Moodle area.
- Does the correct grade appear in the Course total column of the Moodle gradebook?
- Is the rating scale in Moodle the same as in Sisu?
- Has either Letter or Real been selected in the setting Grade display type of the Course total column, depending on which you use in Moodle? Make sure you have not accidentally selected, for example, Real (percentage).
- Do grades appear in the Course total column without decimals? If necessary, remove any decimals. See item 3 of the instructions above.
If you are still unable to send grades from Moodle to Sisu, please send an email to moodle@helsinki.fi.
Check the following in Sisu:
- Make sure that students have received the correct grades and that all sections (language, credits, any feedback) have been completed.
- If you are unable to confirm grades, make sure not to include ‘empty’ credits, that is, students who have not completed the course (first select all and then remove any such students).
If you are still unable to send grades from Moodle to Sisu, please send an email to assessment@helsinki.fi.
