How can I delete a column in the gradebook but NOT the assignment? I have to deploy the "assignment" from McGraw Hill Connect, but it's not to be graded. It's worth 0- points but automatically creates a column in the gradebook I don't want this.
Hi @LauraTywater ...
When an assignment is added to your course, a column is automatically added to your Gradebook. There is no way that I know of to hide and/or remove a column in the Gradebook yet keep it as an assignment on your "Assignments" index page. If the McGraw Hill assignment is worth 0 points, you could also mark the option "Do not count this assignment towards the final grade". Students have an indicator in their own Gradebook that the assignment would not be counted towards the final grade.
I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but I hope it helps in some way to answer your question.
Canvas staff, this function (being able to delete a 0-point assignment column from the gradebook, but not the assignment itself) would be really helpful. My students tell me that they often only look at the "syllabus" section of Canvas to determine what to do (despite me asking them to use the Modules view). So I need to "assign" readings, videos, etc. as 0—point assignments in order for them to realize they are supposed to do it. So each week I have multiple 0-point assignments. My gradebook is now a god-awful mess!
Please determine some way for 0-point assignments to not show up in gradebook but stay active in the course!
Hi @TuckP5199,
For a scenario like that, instead of doing 0-point assignments, you could change the "display grade as" dropdown to not graded". This will give you assignments that show up in the syllabus tool (and on student to-do lists), but will not be in the grades area at all.

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…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
