Notes

• There is a paging feature that displays up to 100 students per page — save before proceeding
• Grade submission process can be quite slow for very large classes
• The function is only available when grading is open
• You must be listed on the official roster as the instructor of record for the course in order to submit grades for that course
  • Instructors in a course site other than the instructor of record may not submit grades; TAs may not submit grades
• If you do not maintain grades in Canvas Gradebook, no grades will be pre-populated, and you must select the appropriate grade for each student in the New Grade column
