How do I view my grades in a current subject?
This lesson applies to users at institutions that have enabled the Canvas for Elementary user interface.
The Grades page in a course displays all current grades for all course assignments. You can also view scoring details, comments, and rubrics. If your institution has enabled grading periods, you can also filter grades by grading period.
If you have any courses that have concluded and are able to access their content, you can view those grades from any active course. You can also view concluded course grades from the Global Navigation Menu.
Note: Some details in the Grades page, such as scoring details and the total grade, may be restricted in your course.
Open Subject Grades
From the Homeroom, click the Grades tab [1].
If allowed by your instructor, your total subject grades display [2].
To view grade details for a subject, click the subject name [3].
Note: If your instructor has hidden total subject grades, dashes display in place of the total subject grade [4].
View Subject Grades
If your institution has enabled grading periods, you can view grading periods using the Grading Period dropdown [1].
If allowed by your instructor, your overall subject grade displays [2].
To view assignment group totals, click the View Assignment Group Totals arrow [3].
By default, grades are sorted chronologically by assignment due date.
You can view the name of the assignment [4], the assignment due date [5], the assignment group [6], and your assignment score and total assignment points [7]. You may also view whether the assignment includes unread scoring details or comments [8].
A dash icon in the score column indicates grades have not been posted [9]. Once the assignment is graded, the icon will be replaced by your score.
If grading feedback has been added to your submission, you can view feedback by clicking the assignment's View Feedback link [10].
The submission status displays below the assignment name [11].
View Grading Periods
If your institution has enabled grading periods, you can view your grades according to grading period. By default the Grades page displays the current grading period [1]. If an assignment does not include a due date, it will display as a part of the last grading period.
If your course includes weighted assignment groups, assignment groups may vary depending on which grading period you are viewing. An assignment group displays if the group has at least one assignment due in the selected grading period.
When grading periods are weighted and you select the All Grading Periods option [2], the weights of each grading period display.
View Assignment Groups
Assignment groups allow instructors to organize assignments, discussions, and quizzes into groups and apply specific grading rules or weights to those groups. You can view the percentage score you've earned for each group [1]. If you have not been graded on assignments in an assignment group, a percentage does not display [2].
Note: Assignment group percentages may be restricted by your instructor.

If your instructor has left feedback, you can view feedback by clicking the View Feedback link.

If your instructor added assignment comments, comments display in the sidebar [4]. You can can add submission comments using the Add a Comment field [5].

View Rubric
If you selected to view the rubric evaluation, the rubric details display.
If multiple graders used the rubric to score your assignment, you can view the rubric evaluation from a particular grader using the Show Assessment By dropdown menu [1].
