There are many tasks involved in grading assessments and delivering grades to students. Below are our recommended steps for successfully delivering grades in Canvas.

Click on the info icons below to access key tips for each step.

End of Semester Grading

Finish grading assessments within Canvas. For grading online assignments or quizzes with essay questions, you will need to manually enter scores.

Add grades for assessments completed outside of Canvas. These may include On Paper, No Submission, and/or External Tool (Gradescope, Poll Everywhere, etc.).

Decide how to deal with missing submissions. Do you want to exclude the assessment from grading, count it as zero, or automatically apply some other minimum score?

Organize assessments into Assignment Groups in order to apply Weighted Grading or just to provide clarity as to which assessments count towards which grading categories.

Post grades, if you used a Manual Posting Policy.

Determine if you will override grades that are automatically calculated by Canvas.

Confirm that grades are displaying properly.

Export grades in order to format them into a document that can be imported into Faculty Center for official grading.
