How does Canvas choose which assignments are passed back to Skyward?
How does Canvas choose which assignments are passed back to Skyward?
Canvas passes back any assignment, graded discussion, or quiz that includes a check mark in the Post to SIS option. This option determines what assignments are sent to Skyward. The Post to SIS option may already be selected for you; Canvas admins can enable an account-level setting that automatically enables all assignments, but you can still manually remove a check mark from any assignment that you do not want to pass back to Skyward.
Additionally, Canvas assignments are also subject to the following details:
Due dates are required to send an assignment to Skyward.
Assignments must be assigned for a specific section or for Everyone.
Assignment names have a 30 character limit in Skyward.

Using Varied Point Values
If an assignment or quiz is worth less than 100 points, when sent to Skyward it will convert it to weight on a 100 point scale
In the teacher gradebook it will up as a raw score, but it will calculate as if it was out of 100
The student side shows the percent value and calculates correctly
Example:
Teacher grades on a rubric worth 25 points and student earns 20/25
When the grade passes into Skyward, instead of passing a 20, an 80 goes into the gradebook (the raw value of 20 will still show up in teacher side, but it is calculating the score as an 80)
Marking Items Excused
If an item is marked as EX in Canvas, it shows up in Skyward as No Count (the star will still be in the Skyward Gradebook, but if you click on the assignment in Skyward, you will see the No Count box has been checked) Beta
