Canvas / Student switched sections

Body

To provide information regarding addition of student to Canvas course when:
- Student has been added to a course and shows up in Photo Roster, but isn't showing up in Canvas

In periods when many simultaneous course adds and drops occur, Canvas courses may not be updated instantly

Grades do not transfer from one Canvas course to another when a student switches from one section to another or one course to another
If you don't have a copy of the grades in the previous course you have to add the student back into that original course and download the gradebook scores. All of the historical data (submissions/grades) are retained in the original course and will never appear in the new course unless the student submits the work again
If you need the student submission the student will need to resubmit to the new course Quiz answers and results cannot be resubmitted unless the student would take the quiz again. Discussion posts are not able to be captured. If you need the historical response to discussions the student must post again in the new course
When a student is added to a different course you must manually enter the grades
