Extra credit assignments with zero total points not transferring to PowerSchool through GPB

Question

Role: Administrator

Teachers can be very creative in the way they award extra credit... 🙄

Some of our teachers are creating assignments with zero total points and then giving the student a few points on that assignment.  This works in the Canvas grade book but it generates an error in GPB:

PowerSchool Error: 'Score entry points is required.

and won't transfer to PowerSchool. Is there anyway to get an assignment with zero total points to sync?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello @KevinStachowski ,

Unfortunately, zero point assignments cannot be synced. One of the best ways to distribute extra credit is to not sync the extra credit assignment but manually enter the assignment and scores into PowerSchool.
