How do I manually name my Canvas assignment groups for SIS grade passback?
As an instructor, your institution may have integrated your Student Information System (SIS) and Canvas to communicate enrollment and user data and to allow for grade passback (GPB) from Canvas to your SIS.
It is recommended that you link your assignment groups directly when possible, however, they need to match by name if they are not explicitly linked.
Open Assignments
In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.
Create Assignment Group
Click the Add Group button.
Name Assignment Group
If not linked directly to your SIS categories, your Canvas assignment group names must match the category names in your SIS gradebook. Enter your SIS gradebook category name in the Group Name field [1].
When finished, click the Save button [2].
View Assignment Groups
View your assignment groups on the Assignments Index page.
Learn how to create assignment shells and add assignments to your assignment groups.
Manage Assignment Group
To manage an assignment group, click the assignment group Options icon [1].
You can edit [2] or delete [3] the assignment group. You can also move assignment group content [4] or reorder the assignment group on the Assignments Index page [5].
