As an instructor, you may be able to sync grades from Canvas to your student information system (SIS). Syncing grades from Canvas to your SIS is called Grade Passback, or GPB.
Before using GPB, you must ensure that your Canvas assignment group names match the grading categories in your SIS gradebook. If enabled by your institution, you can sync your Canvas assignment groups with your SIS grading categories.
Notes:
In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.
Click the More Options button [1]. Then select the Sync SIS Categories option [2].
Note: The Sync SIS Categories link may display your SIS name.
Sync SIS Categories displays a list of all your Canvas assignment groups [1] as well as the number of unassociated course sections in each group [2].
To sync a Canvas assignment group with a SIS grading category, click the assignment group Expand icon [3].
Your SIS-synced course enrollments display in the SIS Section column [1], and the section SIS IDs display in the SIS ID column [2].
For each SIS-synced section, you can associate the assignment group from Canvas with a grading category in your SIS gradebook. To associate the section's Canvas assignment group with a SIS grading category, click the SIS Category drop-down menu [3]. The drop-down menu displays all grading categories created in your SIS gradebook. Click to select an option from the list.
Alternatively, to remove an association between the Canvas assignment group and the SIS gradebook grading category, select the Unassociated option [4].
Notes:
When you change a SIS Category for any section, the assignment group displays a Changed label [1].
To save your sync selections, click the Sync Categories button [2].
View the successful sync notification.
Synced assignment groups display a Synchronized icon [1].
When SIS Category is not selected for a section assignment group, the assignment group displays an Unassociated label [2]. To view unassociated sections, click the assignment view Expand icon [3].
To close Sync SIS Categories, click the Close icon [4].
