From marks entered to results released — in days.
Lecturers enter assignment and exam marks. M‑Saris calculates final grades, routes them through department and Senate approval, and notifies students when results are out.
Free pilot semester. Your own grading scales and approval steps. No contract.
The current way
Results shouldn't take longer than the exams
Between the exam hall and the student seeing a grade, marks pass through several hands — usually as spreadsheets.
Current way
Lecturers send marks to departments in their own spreadsheets.
Consequence
Someone combines and rechecks them before every meeting.
Bigger problem
Every copy is a chance for a wrong grade to be approved.
Current way
Exam eligibility is checked by hand against fees and attendance.
Consequence
Uncleared students sit exams, or cleared ones are turned away.
Bigger problem
Disputes at the exam hall door, and fees still unpaid at the end of the year.
Current way
Senate reviews printed grade lists.
Consequence
Corrections go back and forth on paper.
Bigger problem
Students wait weeks for results, and nobody can show who changed what.
How it works with M‑Saris instead
One grade book from assignment to Senate
Every mark has one home, and every approval is recorded against it.

Worried about moving your grades?
Every registrar is — grades are the record your institution is judged by. Here's how M‑Saris follows your scales and your approval steps.
You might be thinking
“Our approval process is specific.”
What we do
Approval steps follow yours.
Who enters, who approves and who releases are separate permissions, set by user group to match your regulations.
User groups and rights configured during setup.
You might be thinking
“Lecturers won't learn another system.”
What we do
Marks can be imported from Excel.
Lecturers can keep working in a spreadsheet template and import it, or type marks straight into the module's mark sheet.
Excel templates included.
You might be thinking
“What if the calculations are wrong?”
What we do
Check a full semester first.
Run a semester in M‑Saris alongside your current method and compare final grades before you switch.
