How to Download the D2L Gradebook for Secure Archiving and Sharing

Instructors may need to download the D2L gradebook as a file (e.g., CSV or Excel) to archive final grades, verify grade calculations, or securely share grade data with authorized colleagues—especially at the end of term. However, it is essential that any downloaded grade information is stored and shared securely, in accordance with institutional privacy and data protection policies.

Follow the steps below to export the D2L Gradebook:

1. From the course navbar, click on Assessments, then Grades.
   
   
   
   
2. Click on the Export button found under the Enter Grades tab.
   
   
   
   
3. Choose the information you wish to export.
   If you are unsure which options to select, you can choose all available values and settings during the export process. Once the file is downloaded, you can either:
   – Remove unnecessary data in Excel or another spreadsheet tool, or
   – Return to the Export page in D2L and adjust your selections to generate a new file with only the needed information.
   When you are ready, click Export to Excel.
   
   
   
   
4. Click Download to save the file to your device.
   
   
   
5. Open the downloaded file and confirm that it contains the information you need.
