Hi! Is there a way to set up a grading scheme in Canvas that relies on multiple criteria, not just final point total, to assign a letter grade? I've been poking around in Outcomes to see if that might help, but haven't been able to finalize a solution so far. For example, I'd like to be able to set a rule that a student earns an A if they earn 90 out of 100 points in the overall class AND score at least 80% correct on a final exam, earns a B if they earn >70 points in the class AND score at least 80% on a final exam, etc. Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@KaraSyrup At this time, these advance grading schemes are not possible in Canvas. I know they are working to update the Gradebook though, so there is a chance they may tackle grading schemes as well. Would it be possible for you to export the Gradebook and the Learning Mastery Gradebook, and use some Excel formulas for the if-then scenarios? You could set Canvas to override the final grades and just import your now calculated final letter grades.

Got it, thank you James!
