Grading Periods in Canvas
To view the Grading Period filter, click the View option in the Gradebook menu [1]. Then select the Filters option [2] and click the Grading Periods option [3].
The Grading Period filter lists grading periods for the course in a drop-down menu. By default, the Gradebook displays the current grading period. However, you can view and filter grades by previous or future grading period.
View Grading Period
Grading periods are arranged by date, with the newest grading period listed first.
Assignments are grouped in the grading period according to the published assignment due date (unpublished assignments never appear in the Gradebook). If there is no due date for the published assignment, the assignment defaults to the latest grading period. Grading periods cannot be selected within an individual assignment.
In the grading periods menu [1], viewing the All Grading Periods option [2] displays all course assignments. However, you can view the assignments that appear during a specified period by selecting the name of the grading period [3].
You can only edit grades for assignments in a current or future grading period. Once the close date for a grading period has passed, you cannot edit grades for the prior grading period.
What do I do if I need to reassign a Quiz or Assignment from last grading period?
Quizzes and Assignments lock once students begin to work in them or at the end of a grading period (quarter). To reassign, go to Quizzes or Assignments and Duplicate (not Copy) the assignment . This will eliminate all dates and student work from carrying over and allow the instructor to reassign it to students.
