I would love to see my GPA on top of my dashboard, although it may be pretty low.
Hello @Cesar-Quesdilla,
As a Canvas admin in higher-ed, I can tell you this probably won't be something added to Canvas. While Canvas may have some of your grade information, it's almost always considered to be an "unofficial" grade. Official grade info is stored in a student information system, along with additional information about a course, potentially like how many credit hours it is worth. GPA calculations have a lot of nuance to them than can very by school as well, like maximums, minimums and other things that affect calculations. Student information systems are made to handle all of these nuances and be the overall record holders, while Canvas is intended to be your virtual classroom space.
Many schools now have what they call a :portal" for students to log in to, which may pull information from various sources and display it in a convenient manner for you. If your school has a portal, that might be a place they could choose to display your GPA.
I know this may not be what you wanted to hear, but I hope the explanation helps a bit.

I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
