We are a small career school just starting out(using free Canvas) and we finished our first course. How do we print a course transcript with attendance attached?
Hi @stacypixler,
Since I believe you are using Canvas "Free for Teachers" at https://canvas.instructure.com, I do not believe that you will be able to use the admin reports that @Jeff_F mentioned.
Along with "New Analytics" (which I believe is enabled by default, unless you disabled it or it was disabled) and its downloadable reports, if you used the "Attendance" feature (which is also called "Roll Call") in the course, you can download an attendance report by following the guide available at How do I run Roll Call Attendance reports in a course? - Instructure Community - 1023 .
As you can see, and this is also the case with the paid-for version of Canvas (unless something has been custom developed or a integration from a third-party has been purchased), there is not a way to print (as you said that you are looking for) "a course transcript with attendance attached".
What you would need to do is manually combine together for each student from a mix of downloads/options:
It is also possible for a teacher and a student (if the course is still available to them) to print a copy (including as a PDF file) of a student's grades. Below are guides on how to do that as a teacher or student.
How do I view a student's Grades page in a course from the Gradebook? - Instructure Community - 751
How do I view my grades in a current course? - Instructure Community - 493
When using either method, there is a "Print Grades" button on the right-side.
If there anything else that I can help you with?

@stacypixler - Hello and congratulations on the first course completion.
The New Analytics tool can be used to generate a list of student grades, page views, and participations. Look to the Student tab therein. This may have all the info you need. And you can drill down to see details. In addition, the Grades view can be exported using the Export button at the top right of the Grades view. The key here is that the tool must be enabled into the navigation menu of the course.

And we also have admin reports available in that interface. Be sure to review these from an admin account. Look to Settings > Reports > Grade Export and perhaps User Course Access Log.

While these may not be comprehensive, these are out of the box tools that are immediately available. Please reply if this is helpful and if you have questions,
All the best, Jeff

Edited - lined out admin reports. Thanks, @dbrace
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…
