Recording exam results in Grade Centre
Using Grade Centre is an opportunity to enhance grade management and security compared to use of spreadsheets. This is outlined in the UQ Policy and Procedures Library on Assessment. Grade Centre has built-in logging and monitoring of data which has been an important part of resolving mistakes in the past. The guide contains tips for efficiently recording your exam results in Grade Centre.
Check the history of mark changes
Grade Centre logs a record of all changes made to marks during the semester. At the end of the semester, use the View Grade History tool to produce a report showing all changes and comments, to confirm validity and check for errors.

Approaching the second half of a year-long course?
If you are approaching the second half of a year-long course, you may have to submit a new course site request and ask for a merge to avoid your lecture recordings automatically being moved into a new Learn.UQ course site.
Accessibility and Study Hacks
The Accessibility and Study Hacks module (part of Digital Essentials) introduces students to creating accessible content and productivity tools for study and life. It is designed to be embedded into courses so students can find the information they need, when they need it.
