How do you find SIS # for a student?
If you go to People in your Canvas Course, you will see a column that says SIS ID. This is an SIS ID within Canvas, not whatever SIS system (we use PowerSchool) that your district employs. It may not be what you are looking for to set up Grade Passback Syncing. If you are having an issue with Syncing, you may want to speak with whomever manages Canvas for your district. From issues we had a few years ago, grade sync requires them to set up SIS Integration. The following link is an overview page for teachers with links to other guides too. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/PowerSchool-and-Canvas/Instructor-FAQ-Canvas-and-PowerTeacher-Grade-Passback/ta-p/425653
For someone in your district with Admin level access, they can view the SIS integration following these steps: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/PowerSchool-and-Canvas/How-do-I-view-and-manage-my-institution-s-Canvas-PowerSchool/ta-p/484038

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
