In Canvas how do you give one student an extra point to their overall grade?
Hello @pmartin5
It depends on how your gradebook is setup. Are you using weighted assignment groups or just the total of all assignment points is their total grade? If using weighted assignment groups, you may need to give the student extra points on a particular assignment or quiz to adjust the total. If using just regular assignments for total points, you could consider creating an extra credit assignment, assign it to this one student only, and give them extra points there. That could work also if you are using weighted assignment groups as well if you don't want to adjust any previously graded assignments. Here is the Canvas guide:

However, if you don't want to adjust their current assignment scores or create an extra credit assignment for them, you can also enable the override total grade feature. This technically will apply to everyone and you will create a new column next to the total column. However, you only need to increase a single student's grade and the rest would still count as their totals. Some schools don't have this feature enabled, and you would need to speak with the school if these advanced options in the gradebook don't have it within your course. Here is the Canvas guide:

Hey everyone, I didn't see a post about this in my quick perusal of the forums, but I'm wondering if anyone is having issues with Canvas becoming unresponsive. I'm probably the most savvy person with Canvas at my school, so I don't have anyone I can ask. Over the past week I've been getting a variety of errors. Here are…
There is known issue about being unable to use Media Recorder to record media in the RCE and save it when the webcam is disabled (audio only). It's the same whether or not assignment enhancements is on. Recording media with a disabled webcam in the RCE causes an error message during the save process - Instructure Community…
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
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…
