Students’ total grades not showing up? Read this Canvas top tip!
The following message was emailed to instructors and staff on 9/28/2023
Dear Colleague,
Is the Total column in your Canvas gradebook showing 0% for all of your students, even though you’ve graded assignments and published them? If so, read on!
We’ve discovered that some instructors who are using assignments originally migrated from ReggieNet are encountering this problem. Essentially, weighted grade groups have been turned on, but each category in your gradebook is weighted to 0%.
To fix this, you can either disable weighted grading or assign weights to each grade group.
Disable Weighted Grading
To disable weighted grading:
- select Assignments on the course menu
- select the More Options (three vertical dots) located on the top right
- select Assignment Groups Weight from the dropdown menu
- uncheck “Weight final grade based on assignment groups”
Assigning Weights to Groups
To use weighted groups in Canvas, please consult this online guide.
