Submit final grades from Canvas by following these steps.
Submitting Final Grades
Access grading by clicking the link labeled “Submit Grades to Registrar” in the course navigation menu.
In the resulting screen you are presented with the options of midterm grades, final grades and last attendance. Choose the option you want to enter data for – PLEASE NOTE CCV DOES NOT REQUIRE THE SUBMISSION OF MIDTERM GRADES.
In this example below we are looking at the final grade view.
Student Name Column – in this example we see one student has the word “inactive” after their name. This means the student dropped or withdrew from the class. Depending on when the student drops you may or may not see the grade of W. In either case you do not need to enter anything for inactive students. If there is any information in the cells for that student, please delete that data. If there is any information in cells for an inactive student, your grades WILL NOT submit. See FAQs for more information.
Current grade – this is the grade listed in the Canvas gradebook. It will auto populate to the final grade column.
Expire Date – DO NOT enter a date unless you have given the student an incomplete. Any grade entered with an expire date will expire on that date.
Last Attended Date – if a student stops attending and does not have “inactive” after their name, you need to enter a grade and a last date of attendance. You can also enter this under the Last Attendance tab if a student disappears before or in between the grading windows.
Never Attended – if a student has inactive after their name and never attending, check “Never Attended” and grade appropriately.
