   Special Notes:
   • The default grading scheme available in Canvas includes course grades that may not be valid grades accepted by your registrar.  Please review your grading scheme carefully and ensure that it aligns with school or departmental policy.
   • To earn a grade, the student must surpass the grade threshold listed in the Grading Scheme without rounding.  If your course policy allows for rounding, then the grading scheme must reflect a lower threshold for a grade range.
   • Canvas allows you to override the final course grade.  REGIS GradeSync will accept override grades.
   • Temporary and nonstandard grades must appear in the Canvas grading scheme to be assigned in the gradebook as an override grade.  This includes grades such as H, NC, PA, S, TB, TB+, TC, TC+, TD, TF, TNC, TT, TZ, and U. Alternatively, you may submit the temporary grades via REGIS.
6. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page and click Update Course Details.

1. Log into Canvas and navigate to your course.
2. Review each column in your gradebook to ensure each student has a grade and the grade has been posted.
   1. When grades are hidden from student view as shown with the eye with a slash icon, the Total column also displays the same icon to indicate that the total grade in the Gradebook differs from the total grade viewed by the student.
   2. Ungraded work will be displayed as a dash or an icon and will not impact the score in the Total column; thus, ungraded or excused assignments will not be counted against a student’s course grade.
   3. You may use the Set Default Grade function to bulk insert a grade for students without assignment submissions.
   4. Review each column header.  The grade for each assignment may be posted to students. Unposted grades are reported in the displayed course grade in the gradebook for the instructor and are included in the course grade.
   5. To exclude assignments from the final course grade, navigate to the Assignments tool in your course navigation and edit the assignment settings.
      
3. You may opt to override the final course grade; see FAQ below.  Please note that the override grade must appear in your grading scheme in Course Settings to be accepted by Canvas.

2. Click the Sections tab.
   

The Correct Format will be YearTerm_CourseCode_RegIndex

• Example: 20201_01-830-101-01_04229

This error commonly occurs when an instructor first accesses Rutgers Canvas with an email login and then a NetID login is added to their Rutgers Canvas user account.

The email login must be removed from the user’s profile to use REGIS GradeSync. Please contact the Rutgers Canvas Helpdesk with the error message and ask that your email login be removed from your user account.
