Grade book not in nav bar

[HeatherStewart]

When i go to the home page on my dashboard the Grades option is not in my Navigation bar on the left. I've tried adding it through the settings to not avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

@HeatherStewart -

When you add it through the navigation settings, are you hitting save at the bottom of the navigation page?  I have no idea how many times I have updated my navigation settings and forgot to save the changes.  

I figured I would get the obvious issue out of the way first and then we can go from there.

Hi @HeatherStewart,

Can you provide a screenshot of where you're expecting to see a grades icon?  You referenced the dashboard in your original message, which makes me think you may be trying to add a grades icon to Canvas' global navigation (not course navigation), which I'm not sure is possible. Can you also verify whether you are an admin, teacher, or student, as that would be useful information for us to know too.
