Ekadence Transfer Scores: How to Move Scores for New Students

New students join mid-term all the time, and you need to know how to Ekadence transfer scores so their grades carry over correctly. This guide shows how to use New Student Alerts in Ekadence to transfer scores from a linked section, mark past work as excused, or set a default score.

The process takes a minute once your classes are linked, and each step below includes a screenshot. It is based on a short tutorial for Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD) teachers, and student names are blurred in the images.

What You Need Before You Start

• An Ekadence faculty login for your school.
• A new student alert in your class, which appears when a student is added.
• Linked classes, if you want to use the Transfer Scores from Linked Section option. See how to link sections in Ekadence first.

How to Ekadence Transfer Scores Step by Step

Follow these steps in order. Do not click Acknowledge until the very end, because the tutorial warns you not to acknowledge the alert yet.

Quick overview:

• Open New Student Alerts
• Click the arrow on the Acknowledge button
• Click Transfer Scores
• Pick how to handle past work
• Click Apply
• Click Acknowledge

Step 1: Open New Student Alerts

In the class menu on the left, click New Student Alerts.

Step 2: Click the arrow next to Acknowledge

Do not click Acknowledge yet. Instead, click the arrow on the right of the Acknowledge button for the new student.

Step 3: Click Transfer Scores

In the options that open, click Transfer Scores.

Step 4: Review the three choices

Click the bubble next to the choice you want. To bring over grades, click Transfer Scores from Linked Section.

Step 6: Click Apply

Check the linked section shown, then click Apply.

Finally, click Acknowledge to clear the alert. You are done.

Tips for Transferring Scores in Ekadence

• Choose Mark as Excused if the student should not be graded on work from before they joined.
• Choose Set scores to only when you want a specific percentage for all earlier work.
• Link your sections before the term starts, so the transfer option is ready when students move.
• Review the gradebook afterward to confirm the scores look right.

Ekadence Transfer Scores Not Working?

• You do not see Transfer Scores: make sure you clicked the arrow next to Acknowledge, not the button itself.
• The linked section option is missing: your classes may not be linked yet, so link them first.
• You already clicked Acknowledge: ask your site technology contact for help, because the alert may be gone.
• Still stuck: contact your school’s technology support or the AUHSD help desk.

Ekadence Transfer Scores FAQ

Can I transfer scores after acknowledging a student? The steps in the tutorial use the arrow next to Acknowledge, so do it before you acknowledge the alert.

What does Mark as Excused do? It marks the student’s past work as excused so it does not count against them.

Do I need linked classes? You need them for the Transfer Scores from Linked Section option, but the other two choices are available without links.
