Basic MyU Portal Grade Submission System Troubleshooting

Beyond eGradebooks and Moodle grade book, ITSS has no access to the MyU Portal grade submission system. We suggest trying the following steps to troubleshoot any issues that arise or contact the Office of the Registrar at 218-726-8887 or [email protected].

However, the following are the basic steps that may provide a resolution:

  • UMN went through a significant systems upgrade last weekend. Clear your browser's "history/cache/cookies" before you attempt to push grades from Moodle, upload or directly enter grades in the Faculty Center's Final Grade Roster. Here are instructions for clearing history for multiple types of browsers.
  • If you successfully login (no Internet ID and password issue), but do not see your class(es), please contact your department or the Office of the Registrar Support at 218-726-8887 to get entered into PeopleSoft as the instructor of record.
  • If you successfully login (no Internet ID and password issue), but the system appears to be acting flaky, please try a different web browser (e.g., Firefox instead of Internet Explorer or Safari).
  • If you are unable to login, please contact the ITSS Help Desk at 218-726-8847 or [email protected] to see if there is an issue with your password that the Help Desk may reset.
