Student Guide: How to Access Grades and Feedback

You can view your grades and feedback in two ways: by accessing each individual course to see a detailed breakdown for every quiz and assignment, or by viewing a summary across all your courses, which displays the current average grade for each one.

Step 1: Navigate to the course for which you wish to see your grades.
Step 2: Select Grades in the left-hand course menu. This will open up a list of all your completed Canvas assignments within that course.
Step 3: You can sort this list by Due Date, Module and Name.
Step 4: Some assignment grades may not be visible if they have not been released yet.
Step 5: You can control how your total grade is calculated and displayed in Canvas using the Calculate based only on graded assignments setting in the right-hand side panel.

  • Tick the box to view your current grade based only on work that has already been submitted and marked.
  • Untick the box for a more accurate overall grade. This option includes all assignments – even those not yet submitted, which are counted as zero in the total grade calculation.

Step 6: Click on the assignment name to view additional details, including feedback and marking rubrics.

Step 1: Enter your dashboard via the global navigation menu.
Step 2: Select View Grades on the right-hand side.
Step 3: The Courses I’m Taking section displays the name of each course along with your current overall grade, if available. If no grades have been assigned yet, it will show as No Grade. To view detailed grading information, click on the course name.
