How do I change to grade book to only display one decimal place rather than two decimal places?
Hello @SabrinaBryant
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. By default, the gradebook will use two characters after the decimal point. The only way to really change this is to use the total override option and enter the simplified total points for the students. Here is the Canvas guide:

However, there have certainly been others who have asked for the same thing. It does appear to be in an open status and hopefully the option will be available in the near future. For now, you can use the default 2 point decimal display or use the total override column. Hopefully this helps.

This remains a problem. At the end of every quarter, I get at least 10 students emailing me about "I won't get into medical school if I have an A-, instead of an A. My grade is now 92.2%, could you just raise it to 93%? They do this for every possible decimal, even more than a whole number down. It's exasperating and leads to so much extra work because they won't take no for an answer. It's only a burden for this to be visible to them. Canvas should change their defaults. I've spoken to many colleagues who face the same problem.

As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many higher‑education instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward…
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…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
