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.
Hello, I have a number of assignments that require students to complete peer reviews. Because my course is self-paced and students are progressing at different rates, I created completed sample submissions using the Test Student account so that students would always have a submission available to review. However, when I go…
Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
