General Information:
The Final Grade Override allows you to enter a final grade for students that is different from the grade automatically calculated by Canvas.
You can enter a letter grade or a percentage. A letter grade results in the lower bound of the grading scheme. A percentage is retained as the override score.
Students can view the overridden grade in their Grades page. However, students will not know the score has been overridden.
Notes:
-
- Final Grade Override is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable the final grade override, learn how to manage course features. You must turn this feature on in your course before you can complete the instructions given below.
- The override column is included in Gradebook exports. However, overridden grades cannot be changed through a Gradebook import.
To open the Grade Override column:
Click the Settings icon.
In Gradebook Settings, open the Advanced tab [1] and then click the Allow final grade override checkbox [2]. Click the Update button [3].
The override column displays at the far right of the Gradebook. Locate the student whose grade you want to override and enter a percentage or a letter grade in the Override column.
To delete an overridden grade, click the grade cell and click the Delete key.
