Infinite Campus SIS integration overview

The Infinite Campus SIS integration allows system administrators to provision schools, terms, users, courses, sections, and enrollments from Infinite Campus to Schoology Learning. Instructors can use the Infinite Campus app to pass grading categories, graded items, and grades from Schoology to Infinite Campus.

The integration uses the IMS Global OneRoster standard to roster data and pass grades from Schoology to Infinite Campus. This helps keep roster and grade data in sync and reduces duplicate data entry.

Integration requirements

Before installing and configuring the Infinite Campus app:

• Contact your Infinite Campus representative to obtain your API information, including your Infinite Campus OneRoster Domain, Consumer ID, Consumer Secret Key, and SIS Authentication URL.

• If passing grades back across multiple school buildings within the district, verify that your organization has a district-wide Learning license from Infinite Campus.

• Contact your Schoology representative to enable the Infinite Campus app and assist with integration onboarding.

• Verify that usernames in Infinite Campus do not contain spaces. Usernames with spaces do not sync from Infinite Campus to Schoology.

• Ensure master schedules are finalized and set to active in Infinite Campus before running course and section syncs to prevent trial schedule duplication.

• Work with your Schoology onboarding team to review and run the Data Prep tool before starting full provisioning syncs.

OneRoster specifications

The Infinite Campus app supports OneRoster 1.1 and OneRoster 1.2 specifications from IMS Global. Organizations using OneRoster 1.1 can migrate to 1.2 by contacting their Schoology representative.

Organizations migrating from OneRoster 1.1 to OneRoster 1.2 gain support for cross-listed section provisioning and enhanced enrollment timestamps.

Provision data from Infinite Campus

Infinite Campus is the source of record for the following roster and organizational data:

• Schools

• Users, including teacher, student, and guardian accounts

• Terms and grading periods

• Courses

• Sections

• Enrollments

• Grading Tasks (OneRoster 1.2)

Changes made in Infinite Campus transfer to Schoology during scheduled or manual syncs. Changes made directly in Schoology do not transfer back to Infinite Campus.

Sync grades to Infinite Campus

Schoology is the source of record for gradebook changes. Instructors use the Infinite Campus app within their courses to sync the following information from Schoology to Infinite Campus:

• Grading categories (OneRoster 1.2)

• Graded items, including assignments and assessments

• Grades and score changes

• Due dates and item names

Graded items created or updated in Infinite Campus do not transfer to Schoology. Changes made directly in Infinite Campus may be overwritten during a subsequent sync.

Integration limitations

• Attendance data does not transfer from Schoology to Infinite Campus because the OneRoster standard API does not support attendance. Contact your Schoology representative for best practice guidance on attendance workflows.

• Grading Task mapping for assignments is not supported. Grading tasks must match between linked and cross-listed sections for successful grade passback.

• Grading scales, weightings, and standards-based grade passback are not supported.

• Ungraded items (items not assigned to a mapped grading category) do not sync to Infinite Campus.
