Helpful FAQs About Gradelink SIS

Setup

How long does it take to set up Gradelink?

Can you import our existing student data?

Gradelink will import basic student information and class rosters as part of the setup process. However, extended data imports – including information such as transcript data – are available for a nominal fee. We will provide an estimate on request.
