Instructors can download the grade book as a .csv file to edit offline. After making changes, instructors can upload their changes to Canvas. Changes will be reflected in the Grades area of Canvas.

NOTE: The .csv file includes read-only columns for current and final scores. Current score reflects the total grade while ignoring unsubmitted assignments, and the Final score counts unsubmitted assignments as zero.

Downloading Student Submissions

Instructors can download assignment submissions and upload them back into Canvas with feedback such as tracked changes or comments.

NOTE: When uploading graded student submissions to Canvas, the file name must be identical to the original download. The updated file will appear as an attachment in the Speedgrader area for students.

Posting Grades

Instructors who keep a full accounting of grades in the Canvas gradebook will see each student's final grade in the TOTAL column in the Grades area of a Canvas course.

Avoiding Errors in Large Classes

Final grades must be entered into CAESAR. If instructors keep a full record of grades in the Canvas gradebook, they may wish to use GradeSync to send their grades directly from Canvas to CAESAR.
