Setting up and using the Infinite Campus Grade Book

Here is a brief overview for using the Infinite Campus Grade Book for CCS Teachers.  For helpful videos and documentation that is more in depth, please visit Campus Community.  Instructions on how to access Campus Community and other helpful tools can be found on the Campus Support page. 

Log in:

Go to www.ccsoh.us and select Staff then the Infinite Campus link.  Use the same username and password as your email.  Every time you change your login it will change for Infinite Campus as well.

• Click on the App Switcher (looks like 9 little boxes) and select Campus Instruction. If there is not a Grade Book link on the left side of your screen you are in Campus Tools, and not Campus Instruction.  You can change this in settings so that you are automatically directed to Campus Instruction when you log in.  
• You will also see an option here that says Campus Community; if you select this you have access to news, forums where you can search or post a specific question, and also the knowledge base, which includes videos, tutorials and virtual labs.

In the top right verify the current year and school. The log off button is also in the top right of the screen.

Set Preferences

Before proceeding, it is a good practice to create your account preferences.  This only has to be done once.  However, these options can be changed at any time throughout the school year.

Helpful Tips 

Never log into Infinite Campus more than once IN THE SAME BROWSER!

If you cannot see all of your classes, or students in your class, try the following:

1. Check the year at the top of the Infinite Campus page
2. Check the school at the top of the Infinite Campus page
3. Log out of Infinite Campus, then back in
4. Try using a different internet browser
5. If you are using a tablet or other mobile device, log into Infinite Campus using a computer
6. Try clearing the browser cache

If all students are not on your roster in Infinite Campus, or students display who are not in your class, notify your school scheduler as soon as possible.

Do not wait until the last day or two of the open grading window to enter grades. Allow time to resolve any issues that may occur.
