How do I remove classroom aides from the gradebook?

[jcrooks]

I have four "supplemental instruction leaders" in my class. They are not students. They provide in-class tutoring. They are listed in the grade book, and that causes problems when I am trying to enter grades from assignments outside of Canvas. How do I remove them?

James,

If they are showing the gradebook it means that they have been added to the course as Students, or a custom role created by your admins which was based on the Student role.  Observer might be a better role to use if you have the ability to change their role in the class.  By default, Observers are essentially non-participating students.  They can see all of the content but won't be able to submit assignments and will not display in the gradebook.  You might need to work with your local school Canvas admin to make this change.

Thank you, Rick.

My admin changed their roles to "tutor," which removes them as students and so out of my grade book. Thank you for helping me know what questions to ask the admin.
