How do I view and manage my institution’s Canvas integration grade sync schedules?
If your institution has configured Canvas-SIS grade passback, you can view your grade sync schedules in the SIS Integration page. Any course grading updates made in Canvas within the defined interval are reflected in your SIS gradebook after a completed sync. Canvas Course grading updates can include new assignments, adding assignment scores, posting grades, and changing assignment grades. You can also pause grade sync schedules.
Grade passback schedules are configured during your Canvas SIS integration implementation. To make changes to your sync schedules, contact the Instructure SIS Support Team.
