How do I submit a student's work for them into Canvas if they have sent me theh file via a different path or they are having difficulty with Canvas themselves?
If you go to the gradebook slot for that student you should see an option "submit as student" from the arrow menu. You do need to be a teacher in the course to see that option.
Hi there @MarnaCarroll4093563 ,
While @Todd_E is correct, do take note that institutions do have the option to turn this setting off. If you can't find the submit as student button option, I recommend reaching out to your Canvas admin to see if they can help.
Best, Noah
Hi @MarnaCarroll4093563 …
In addition to the responses that you've already received, here's a Guide for your reference:

Hope this will help as well!
Whether this option is visible depends on the settings of your institution. In our institution this is disabled for all except some Canvas administrators.
My institution is switching to Canvas Fall 26. I have traditionally given paper exams that are completed and turned in to me. I then scan them and enter the grade. Will that process still work?
Hi @ChadBandy84044521 …
Canvas assignments include an "On Paper" submission type, which sounds close to what you are looking for. Students can still submit a physical sheet of paper to you in class, and you'll be able to have a column in your course Gradebook to enter a grade. Check out this Guide:

Specifically, check out the section on "Select Submission Type" about half-way down the page. One of the options is "On Paper". Do you think that will work for your needs?
Thank you all! I found the submit for student button! This was a great help.
We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs. Based on the Instructure FAQ, we understand that only the following fields are transmitted during a sync: Assignment Description Assignment Group Association/Category…
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
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…
