Things to Note
The Default Canvas Grading Scheme is not compliant with UO policy.If you plan to use the Default Grading Scheme, you must edit it to include A+ as outlined in UO grading policy.
Custom grading schemes are set at the course level and not the account level. This means that when you set-up custom grading schemes in a course, those schemes will stay with that course when you export it. However, new courses will have only the default UO Compliant Grading Scheme available and you will have to set-up any custom grading schemes.
Letter grading schema: For a quiz, a student's raw numeric score is 88 out of 100 points possible. In a grading schema in which a percentage of 87 to less than 90 equals a B+, a student's score of 88 results in a B+. In the quiz's Grade Center column, a B+ appears.
If you want to enter your grades as a letter grade or Pass Fail - Go to Settings > Course Details Tab.Click Edit Course Details and check “Enable Course Grading Scheme” followed by “Set Course Grading Scheme.” See this document. Mute Assignment while grading.
Features. Courses created using Global Course Administration automatically use the ISU Default Canvas Grading Scheme. Instructors can create custom schemes or manipulate existing ones. Letter grades are automatically assigned based on the students' percentages.

The final grade column will not be accurate if any cells are left ungraded. When grade cells are left ungraded (containing a dash), students with ungraded work see their final grade without any unsubmitted assignments factored in, which gives students an inaccurate view of their grades.
In a pass/fail system, students are typically assessed as either “pass” or “fail” based on their overall performance in a course. At some schools, it might be called credit/no credit or satisfactory/unsatisfactory.
You can excuse a grade by selecting the specific student's cell in the gradebook and typing "EX." Alternatively, you can follow the steps in Canvas's How do I change the status of a submission in the New Gradebook?
Grades are entered according to the assignment's Display Grade setting. Grades can be entered as one of five options: points, complete/incomplete, letter grade, percentage, and GPA. You can change the assignment to display grades for a specific grading type.
The total score equation for a course with three assignment groups would be (percentage A x weight A) + (percentage B x weight B) + (percentage C x weight C) = final course percentage.
hello, you can rearrange columns in your gradebook by doing “View” drop-down menu (at the top of the gradebook) – allows changes to the order/view of assignments. Drag-and-drop assignments – you can reorder the assignments in your gradebook by dragging the column headers (assignment name) into the preferred order.
