How do I sync grades from Canvas to my Genesis gradebook?
As an instructor, you can request a grade sync from your Canvas gradebook to Genesis gradebook. Before syncing your grades, verify that your Canvas assignment groups match your Genesis grading categories. You should also set up assignments for SIS sync.
Notes:
- You must enter assignment scores in Canvas before an assignment and its scores can sync to Aspen.
- All Canvas gradebook scores must be numeric. Assignments marked as Missing and Late in Canvas must also include a numeric score to sync with Genesis.
- Any Canvas assignment marked as Excused syncs to Genesis displaying a zero (0) score an an exempt flag. Scores marked as exempt are not included in the final grade calculation.
