Grade Transfer Requirements
Please be aware that the Grade Transfer tool is only available for courses that meet all of these criteria:
The course must be in the current term.
The course must have a standard grading basis (e.g. A, B, C, D, F). Courses that have other grading basis are not supported ('PF', 'AUD', 'PFA', 'PIP', 'JS2', 'JS1').
The course must not be a concurrent enrollment course.
The course must have an assosiated Canvas course site.
The grade transfer button will appear starting 3 days before the course end date, and remain available until 1 day after the grades due date.
Instructions
Make sure that all assignments have a grade, even if it’s a zero.
You can do this by setting the missing submissions policy in the gradebook. Please see the Canvas Document for Missing Submission Policy in Gradebook.
You can also set up automatic deductions for late submissions in gradebook. Please see the Canvas Document for Late Submission Policy in Gradebook.
