I'm looking for student demographics in my course canvas page. Where do I find them?
Hi @turtlepclark,
Canvas itself doesn't store demographic information about users. You'll probably need to reach out to your school/institution administration to figure out where they store demographics and whether you can access them, as that's really going to vary from place to place. I think the student information system (Banner, Peoplesoft, Powerschool, etc...) would usually have the data, but it may also be other places, and access would really wary based on local policies.
Sorry we can't give a more exact answer here, but I hope this helps.

Could there be a feature added (or maybe there is something out there already) to limit not just the file EXTENSION but the file NAME as well? For example, instead of just requiring "XLSX" extension for JoeSmith-Assignment1.XLSX, we could require "*Assignment1.XLSX" for the filename. This would ensure that students submit…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
