How do I, as a Canvas Admin., set up/enable the grade sync in Canvas so that teachers only see the current quarter assignments instead of the year assignments? I have found that each teacher can manually turn off the sync for past quarters within the year term but the teacher inquiring says This has always been done in the…
Hello, we recently migrated to Canvas and I am having some issues integrating it with our SIS. We use SONIS (Jenzabar product). Does anyone else use SONIS and wouldn't mind connecting with me so I can pick their brain? I need help on where exactly I would edit the CSV files to: * Have a course cancel in Canvas if it…
I am using Canvas integration with NCCERConnect (Pearson). I am having trouble with the grades not being synced correctly from NCCERConnect into Canvas. I have spoken with Pearson and they have looked over my settings and they say it is not an issue on their end. For example: Student A completed Module 7 Review on…
We have PowerSchool eSchool for our SIS. We also use the OneRoster standard with ClassLink for rostering applications. Can you offer an opinion on a preferred way to integrate with Canvas. A few things we would like: Ease of use Notifications of success/Failure Timely integration (We have had experiences with it taking a…
It is my understanding that comments entered with grading information can be synced to PowerSchool if OneRoster is used. We have OneRoster but I cannot find how teachers can have comments transfer from Canvas to PowerSchool. Is there a setting that I, as an admin, need to enable or one for teachers to do? Thank you in…
Using the Canvas API I am able to import most data I need using SIS imports as CSV. Is there a way to go in the opposite direction and export users/logins/enrollments as CSV? I need to essentially clean up the data on our instance, but don't see an obvious way to export existing data.
When attempting to sync assignments to PowerSchool(under sync sis categories), I see them marked as "unassociated" with no other options available. Any idea why that is happening or how to fix that issue?
Our district uses the syncing option from Canvas to Infinite Campus. Recently, we discovered that assignments with a decimal in the assignment point value do not transfer to IC as decimals. The point value gets rounded down to the nearest whole number. In searching the Guides and other questions, I see that score values…
We have some early start classes (1/6) before our semester starts (1/27) and the shells have the correct course dates that are being pulled from ILP that keep having the "Participation" dates defaulting to "Term" (1/27) rather than "Course" (1/6). I've already looked and confirmed with Ellucian that the course dates are…
Hi Just wondering about the response time for a SIS escalated issue. Canvas has pulled our 2025 data from the SIS; however, there are a number of issues regarding the course creation that impacts on our capacity to make these courses live for either students and staff. I logged a case on Tuesday morning and made contact…
