The Total points doesn't match letter grade in gradebook e.g. 156 B is seen when the grading scheme shows 156=F. Does anyone know why this may happen?
Hi @MarianChima,
I would recommend making sure that you have the correct grading scheme selected for the course.
I would also recommend that you make sure that everything has been graded and that the correct status has been assigned to every submission (maybe you are using a posting policy).
In my experience, those are most common reasons for grades not matching properly. You might want to reach out to your school's Canvas team or (if available to you) Canvas Support directly if you none of those help.

If you could post a screenshot of your grading scheme here, that could be really helpful. I know @dbrace already gave you some pointers, but I wanted to ask a but more about your grading scheme, given the numbers you mentioned in your post... The traditional grading schemes in Canvas are percentage based (0-100). There are also point-based schemes, but the maximum points there are 100 (and when used for a course or assignment, the values scale basically like a percentage).
I look forward to hearing back from you, hopefully with some additional info to help us assist you.

Hello! Loving the new stickers. I wonder: could we have X and Check Mark stickers in Canvas for shorter grading feedback? Thanks!
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…
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…
