Quick answer

If the IB asks for CAS moderation, send the records straight from ManageBac+. Schools in IB Americas cannot yet do this.

If your school has been contacted by the IB for CAS moderation, you can send the CAS records to the IBO directly from your ManageBac+ account. 

Please note: Schools in IB Americas are not currently able to submit CAS records directly through ManageBac+, and must instead submit via IB Docs. They can export the experiences and reflections for each selected student from Browse Reflections & Evidence > Export to PDF. See the steps below.

IB Moderator Access

From the CAS tab of your IB year group, open the Details panel on the right and select IB Moderator Access.

You will need to:

1. Select the students to submit (including a fourth exemplary student if you'd like)

2. Attach a signed authorization letter. You can download the template from this page by right-clicking the authorization letter hyperlink.

3. Click Save Changes to allow the IB access to these students' CAS files through ManageBac+.

Reviewing Reflections to Be Included in Submitted CAS Records

You can review reflections from a student's CAS worksheet: open the Details panel and select Browse Reflections & Evidence. On that page, Export to PDF in the Details panel exports the reflections.

Highlighting and Exporting Individual Reflections

Please check your regional requirements to determine if it is necessary to select a certain number of reflections to submit, or if it is advised to submit all reflections. If it is advisable to submit all reflections, do not star any. 

If you need to select a certain number, hover over a reflection, select the three vertical dots, then Star. On the All Reflections and Evidence page, select Filter and tick Starred to show only those reflections before you export.
