Syncing Grades

How do I use the Canvas gradebook to sync data to Infinite Campus?

The Canvas Infinite Campus integration passes data only one way: from Canvas to Infinite Campus. To make changes to your Infinite Campus gradebook, first make the changes in your Canvas course gradebook and sync the information to Infinite Campus. Following this best practice allows consistent data flow between systems and ensures accurate data in both systems.

Please be aware of the following behaviors in the Gradebook:

Assignments awarded a score with a decimal in Canvas (i.e. 10.5 points) display as a whole number in the Infinite Campus gradebook (i.e. 10 points). However, if you view the assignment details in Infinite Campus, the grade displays correctly (i.e. 10.5 points).
Your course must have a SIS ID in Canvas to pass grades to Infinite Campus. If your course or section does not include an SIS ID in Course Settings, please contact your Canvas admin.
If you award an assignment score in Canvas that is higher than the total amount of points possible (i.e. 30 points out of 20), the extra points sync to Infinite Campus as extra credit.
If enabled in your Canvas course, the Attendance assignment is not included in an Infinite Campus sync.
If enabled in your Canvas course, Learning Mastery Gradebook data is not included in an Infinite Campus sync.
Assignment weights in Canvas are not included in an Infinite Campus sync. You must manually weight assignments in Infinite Campus.
Canvas does include late assignment designations in an Infinite Campus sync.
Hidden assignment scores are included in an Infinite Campus sync. To maintain hidden scores from Canvas to Infinite Campus, turn off the assignment sync to SIS option.
