Grade Sync:

Vista Higher Learning supports grade sync. VHL grade sync functionality only attempts to create grade columns and push grades to the LMS after an assignment’s due date has passed. Students in the course must also link their LMS and VHL accounts for their grades to sync. Follow the steps below to configure assignments for sync.

Access the Gradebook in the VHL course, and select LMS Sync.

Select Edit Settings.

Step 2 – Edit Settings

Update Grade Sync Status to Enabled, choose which grade data to sync, and then click SAVE.

Step 3 – Enable grade sync and save
