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 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…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
