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.

Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
