Displaying ONLY letter grades

[alison_mann1]

Is there a way to ONLY display the letter grade and NOT the percentage/points? Our faculty does not want number grades displayed at all. I know that you can input letter grades, but students still end up seeing the percentage beside the letter grade. Thanks!

Hi @alison_mann1,

As of today, this isn't really possible in Canvas.  But I may have some good news for you.  If you check out the  Canvas Release Notes (2023-09-16) - Instructure Community  document, you'll see that hiding of quantitive date (points/percentages) is an option scheduled to be released in a couple weeks.  My read of things is that Canvas will still have a points based gradebook to calculate the overall grade (and the points will be visible to teachers), but students would see nothing but the letter grades.

I hope this info helps!

Unacceptable.

All kinds of fancy LTIs and bells + whistles, but basic letter grade viewing not currently possible?  Sucks.

I still could not find "Restrict View of Quantitative Data" in my settings. Could you help me?

Hi @FeliciaLasmana,

If you are a teacher, the  How do I restrict the viewing of quantitative data... - Instructure Community - 580321  guide will walk you through the setup of this option.  Please note that your school/institution Canvas team can lock this setting down for all courses, so if you don't see the option in your course, it's likely that you'd need to ask your Canvas team if they'd be willing to unlock the setting or if they have a reason to have it locked.

Hope this helps!
