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!

Is this something that will be available in the future? Or is there…
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed? I can bring in a batch of tags questions or manually tag each one. Tagging each one is not an option. I'm using New Quizzes, so I…
Is there a setting where I can hide my students grade summaries on the dashboard but keep the individual category grades visible for them on their main grade page? I'll describe a little below. I want the overall course grade to be hidden from my course image on the students' dashboard with all their other courses, but I…
Hi everyone We recently deployed the new Microsoft LTI in Canvas and have started using the option to create Microsoft Education assignments directly from Canvas. So far, the setup has been very easy and user-friendly. Unfortunately, we've run into a problem: when we try to change the due date of an assignment after it has…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
