How do I sync grades from Canvas to the PowerSchool gradebook?

As an instructor, you can request a grade sync from your Canvas gradebook to your PowerSchool gradebook. Before syncing your grades, verify that you have properly named your Canvas assignment groups for PowerSchool GPB. You must also set up assignments for SIS sync.

Notes:

  • Submissions with Late status cannot be synced to the PowerSchool gradebook.
  • Submissions with Missing or Excused status without a score will sync a 0 score to the PowerSchool gradebook.
