I am trying to test out grading periods on a free version of Canvas LMS, but I can't find the setting to view them. What do I do?

Grading Periods are a feature that is set up and configured by a school/district/institution Canvas administrator. Unfortunately, as Free for Teacher is a somewhat globally available Canvas instance, features like Grading Periods are not available in that instance.
If you were to, at some point, have access to a Canvas instance with an administrator overseeing it, they would be able to configure the grading periods on their end and they'd then work in your courses in that new Canvas instance.
Hope this helps!

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.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
