[ARCHIVED] Disable grade percentage in dashboard

[lorisha_riley]

My gradebook is based on a points based system, but the dashboard still shows students their grade as a percentage. How do I disable this feature so that either 1) the dashboard shows total points in place of percent grade or 2) the dashboard doesn't show the grade at all but students can still see their total points grade in the gradebook. 

For example, in the student dashboard below, my student sees her grade as 75% in trigonometry. However, the gradebook in that class was set to display points.

Hi Lorisha -

This isn't a teacher-controlled option. However, you can show students how to turn off grades on their dashboard!  https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-26604-185611231812 

I think you'd be interested in this idea which is open for voting: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/11916-view-grade-as-points-in-student-app

That is a great solution! Thank you so much for linking that vote for me as well as for the directions to turn off the scores until things change!
