Access the Gradebook
- Log into Canvas
- Select a Course
- Select the Course Navigation icon
- Select 'Gradebook' from the list
Current Score vs Final Score
Canvas calculates both a Current Score and a Final Score.
- The Current Score includes graded posted assessments.
- The Unposted Current Score includes graded posted and unposted assessments. The Unposted Current Score is the same as the Total Column.
- The Final Score is the total of all graded and ungraded posted assessments. The Final Score is not visible to students and is only visible to the instructor when grades are exported.
- The Unposted Final Score includes all graded and ungraded posted and unposted assessments.
To import final grades into Campus Solutions, the Current Score must match the Final Score. Make sure all grading is completed, all non-submitted assignments are set to 0, Excused, or excluded from final grades, and all grades are posted.
To import interim grades into Campus Solutions, the Current Score is imported. Hidden and ungraded assessments are not included.
Override a student's final grade
You can override a student's final/interim grade by adding an override column in the Canvas gradebook. You do not have to enter an override for all students; just the student(s) that need overridden. If a student has an override grade, the override field will bypass Campus Solutions import errors for missing and hidden assignments.
