Hi All, is there a way that I can change a student to "deferred" in grades? Thanks in advance.
Hello!We do not have a standard grade status in Canvas that is known as "defer," but the desired outcome for preventing a student's score from counting toward their final grade calculation is achieved by Excusing the assignment.
Type EX into the cell for that student's assignment or use the dropdown menu in the cell to change the submission status to Excused.
Excusing a grade will remove that assignment's points from the course's total denominator only for that specific student, effectively deferring the requirement and ensuring the student's final grade is calculated correctly based on the remaining graded assignments.I hope this helps and thank you for engaging in our Canvas Community!

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…
