We recommend that faculty do the following towards the end of each semester with their Canvas courses.
Confirm Grades Setup
Confirm that grades have been entered for all students and all gradable items in the course. You may want to enter a O for unsubmitted work, or optionally choose to automatically add 0s for all unsubmitted work after due dates. See Gradebook Settings. To add a letter grade in the Total column, create or choose a grading scheme on the course’s Settings page.’
On the Assignments page, ensure all gradable items are in categories and any weights are set.
Import Final Grades into Patriot Web
You can either import final grades from Canvas or enter them manually into Patriot Web.> Instructions for importing grades from Canvas.
Download a Copy of Your Gradebook
For reference purposes, we recommend that you download a copy of your gradebook.
Make Your Course Unavailable to Students – Optional
Decide if you want to allow students to have access to your course after the semester ends. By default, students will retain view access. If you want to remove student access, on the course’s Setting page, check the box for “Restrict students from viewing course after course end date.” View detailed ITS Canvas course publishing guide.
Create a Section for Students with an Incomplete
There are specific, required steps if you need to provide continued course access to a student with an incomplete or anyone else who needs continued access to the course. View ITS guide on Incompletes in Canvas.
