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.

Ooh you can use the drop down of complete/incomplete and worth zero points. Then you can use the check box to show completed but it doesn't "grade it." That's what I discovered today when working on this same problem. The checkbox makes it look finished in my gradebook, and it syncs to the veracross LMS.
I am trying to download a single submission that has been annotated by a grader using the API. Does anyone know how to do this? I am using Python using the canvasapi and requests libraries to query the preview_url in the submission attachments. import requests from urllib.parse import urljoin preview_url =…
Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template? I download the csv file and fill in the Canvas Rubric template from the Enhanced Grading feature and nothing happens when I try to upload it. It only shows the file name, but not it's size. Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
