Hiding Grades

Sometimes teachers want to work on grades without students seeing the grades until a later date. (For example, if a TA is grading, but the teacher wants to double-check and possibly adjust the grades before students see them, or if grades may change for some other reason.)

To hide grades while you're grading, do this: Go to the Gradebook, choose the menu at the top of the column (those three dots) and choose Grade Posting Policy and choose Manually.

You can then grade those assignments (by typing in grades or using the SpeedGrader) and students will not see any of the grades.

Next, when you're done grading and ready for students to see the grades, chose the menu, then "Post Grades"

For more details on this change, see the full Canvas documentation at: New Gradebook and SpeedGrader Muting Behavior Changes.
