My students can see their grades, but not the total. They see this:
"Calculation of totals has been disabled"
But the box in setting labeled "Hide totals in student grades summary" is unchecked.
Is there something I'm missing?
Hi @OzTheEngineer,
There are a couple places to check for this. First, in your course settings there is the "Hide totals in student grades summary" option. In addition to that, the gradebook itself has a couple related settings: under the gradebook settings -> view options tab, ensure "Hide Assignment Group Totals" and "Hide Total and Override Columns" are both unchecked.
Hopefully this gets the view for students fixed up!

If you go to the Settings page, and uncheck the “Hide totals in student grade summary” option at the bottom of the screen, it should resolve the issues.
I checked both of the places mentioned by Chriscas, but even I - the teacher - can't see the total grades or the assignment categories totals and weights. The semester has ended, and I'm trying to finalize my grades for each student. When I go to a single student's grades page, I could see "Grading periods are weighted" and the weight as 100%. Then I changed the "Grading Period" on that page to 1st semester and VIOLA! Now I can see the assignment category weights. But I still can't see that in my gradebook. What am I doing wrongly?
Thank you for any help y'all can give. -Grace
Hello! I'm new to Canvas as of Spring Semester 2026 and I am curious if there is a key detailing the meaning of various icons that present next to assignments. The 3 I see most often are (a) a green circle with a stick figure in it: (b) what looks like a rocket heading north east: and (c ) a piece of paper with a pencil on…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
