Assignments/Quizzes Not Appearing in Gradebook (Canvas)

Issue:
You’ve created an assignment or quiz in Canvas, but it does not appear in the Gradebook.

Cause:
The assignment or quiz is likely assigned to a group that is either not included in the final grade calculation or not set up correctly within your course’s assignment groups.

Solution:
Ensure that the assignment or quiz is placed in the correct assignment group that is included in the gradebook.

Steps to Fix:

  1. Go to the Assignment or Quiz:

    • Navigate to your Canvas course.

    • Click on Assignments or Quizzes from the course navigation menu.

  2. Edit the Assignment/Quiz:

    • Click on the specific assignment or quiz that is missing from the gradebook.

    • Click Edit.

  3. Check the Assignment Group:

    • Locate the Assignment Group dropdown menu.

    • Make sure it is assigned to a group that is included in grade calculations (e.g., “Assignments,” “Quizzes,” etc.).

    • If necessary, change the group to the appropriate one.

  4. Save Changes:

    • Scroll down and click Save (or Save & Publish if it’s not published yet).

  5. Check the Gradebook:

    • Navigate to Grades from the course navigation menu.

    • Confirm the assignment or quiz now appears in the gradebook.

Tips:

  • You can verify or modify assignment group weightings by going to Assignments > +Group and editing existing groups.

  • Ensure the “Do not count this assignment towards the final grade” option is unchecked if the item should be graded.
