Export Gradebook

Overview


Although Canvas offers SpeedGrader and the Gradebook as options for grading in Canvas, professors may choose to download assignments and grade them on their own devices through other means. This page shows how to download the Gradebook into Excel so you can enter grades offline and re-upload them into Canvas at a later time.
