Canvas Final Letter Column

Instructors frequently ask about displaying the course final grade in Canvas. When following the instructions below, please be aware of the following:

• By default, Canvas displays the Total grade in the instructor's gradebook and in the individual student's grade view as a percentage.
• Letter grades are not included in Canvas gradebook downloads to Excel (only point values are downloaded). This means . . .
• you will still have to manually create the final letter grade column within the downloaded gradebook, in order to upload to the Faculty Center in PeopleSoft.
