Hi, We are transitioning to ILP to sync course data from Colleague to Canvas. The connection itself is working successfully.

I have a teacher with a quiz that is graded, but the assignment itself goes into our SIS (PowerSchool), but th egrades are not going over, but the sync information says it all went over. How do I remedy this?
Hello, We populate our Canvas via Banner SIS connections, Loading is going great, but we want to develop a policy on removal - I searched the community - are there any best practices for managing students and faculty accounts?

Is there ANY way to automate/force Canvas to sync ungraded assignments with Veracross SIS? right now our only solution is to require teachers to enter a fake grade, sync, and then remove it. I am willing to entertain 3rd party solutions if there is one available.

We have used Canvas and JMC for years. Our teachers are asking about setting up a gradebook sync. Has anyone done this with JMC? If so we have some questions. Do all staff have to be involved in the sync or can we run it for a smaller subset of staff? Do all assignments have to be synced, or can the teacher designate which…

I have had issues with these same assignments because it's been assigned to some students in the section, but not all. when I…
