This is our first year using SIS integration / Grade Passback with Canvas I'm just curious if anyone has any tip, tricks or advice from their experience? Does it work well? Do the teachers like it or even use it? Any problems during the initial rollout or while it was used? Anything else? Thanks!
Our Canvas instance currently uses Banner field X to assign the Canvas ID. We are looking to change the designated field from X to Y using the "change_sis_id.csv" table. What are the (if any) downstream effects of changing this in the user record within Canvas, data analytics/reporting, and LTI tools using the Canvas ID.
A student had a schedule change, he moved from my Period 1 class to my Period 6 class. None of his scores from when he was in Period 1 will sync from the Canvas gradebook to our SIS (Synergy). And when I am in the Synergy gradebook, I cannot manually add his scores because any assignments that came over from Canvas say…
Are any higher education institutions using the grade passback to send only midterm and final grades to Banner? If so, how did you all accomplish this?
I cannot sync grades from Canvas to Infinite Campus. When syncing, I get the same error: "Not a graded course session." I have my Canvas and Infinite Campus settings configured the same as the other teachers at my school (as far as I can tell) and others have not seen this error.

In fact I am able to successfully sync grades from one of my classes to Skyward, but all of my other classes (despite being set up the same) are not able to sync to Skyward. The only difference I see with the Canvas Grade Sync is that after attempting to sync my…

I need the SIS data to push to Canvas now and not wait for the nightly update. Can someone please help walk me through this? Thank you! Sara
When creating an assignment on a blueprint, if the Sync to SIS/Sync to Synergy is checked should that selection sync with the associated courses once the blueprint sync is complete? We have been blueprinting our courses for several years, this is the first year teachers are stating that they need to go into each associated…
When an assignment is only assigned to a small group of students rather than the whole class, can the assignment be synced to skyward? We have all of the other settings set to be able to sync grades to skyward, and can sync other assignments and quizzes.
