The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.

After the first time you take roll call, Canvas automatically creates an assignment for Roll Call Attendance and adds a column to the Gradebook. By default, attendance is worth 100 points.

To avoid Attendance calculation errors, never delete, rename, or unpublish the Attendance assignment.

Instructors can edit several components of the Roll Call Attendance assignment:

• If you are using weighted assignment groups, you can create a new weighted assignment group and move the attendance assignment into that group.
• You can edit the assignment and change the point value.
• You can remove Attendance from the Gradebook completely by changing the assignment type.
• You can exclude the attendance assignment from the final grade.

Note: The Attendance assignment will not appear until you have taken roll for at least one student.

Once you delete a course, the course will be completely removed from your institution's account and will not be viewable by you, prior students, or the account administrator. We do not recommend deleting courses, especially if the course contains content and student data because you may need to access that information a later date.

If you only want to remove the course from Courses & Groups in the Global Navigation, you can change the course end date, or if you have permission, conclude your course instead.

Notes:

• Before you delete your course, make sure you have a record of your Course ID number. Administrators can restore deleted courses if they know the Course ID number. You can locate your Course ID number at the end of your course URL (i.e. canvas.instructure.com/courses/XXXXXX).
• Deleting a course is a course permission for manually created courses only. If the Permanently Delete this Course button does not appear in Course Settings and your course was not generated through a student information system (SIS), this setting has been restricted for your course. If you are an instructor, contact your admin for assistance.
