What is the purpose of the 'test student?
Hi @klis3770 ...
The "Test Student" that you see in your Gradebook is because you most likely viewed your course via the Student View:
How do I view a course as a test student using Student View?
As soon as you view the course via the Student View, Canvas puts "Test Student" into your Gradebook. You should be able to easily remove "Test Student" from your course, though. To do this in your course, click on the "Settings" course navigation menu on the left side of your screen. Then, click on the "Sections" tab. Then, click on the name of your section that has students in it. You should see a list of students including, "Student, Test". Try hovering over "Student, Test" so that it is highlighted. Do you see a red and white circular "x" icon to the right of "Student, Test"? If so, click on this icon to remove it. When you go back to your Gradebook, "Test Student" should be removed. Just know that the next time you view your course using the Student View, the "Test Student" will re-appear in your Gradebook, and you'll have to go through the steps I've outlined to remove it again.
Hope this helps a bit. Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
From the Inbox - I do not see a way to include an accessible link. For example - clicking on the word YouTube(which contains the link) versus https://www.youtube.com/

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
