Canvas Gradebook
Using the Canvas Gradebook
The Gradebook helps instructors easily input and distribute grades for students.
Grades for each assignment can be calculated as points, percentages, complete or incomplete, pass or fail, GPA scale, and letter grades.
Only graded assignments, graded discussions, graded quizzes, and graded surveys that have been published appear as a column in the Gradebook.
