Canvas Sync to PTP Checklist
Canvas Sync to PTP Checklist:

Your Assignment or Quiz CANNOT have a name longer than 30 characters.
The Assignment or Quiz MUST be assigned to the entire course or section (cannot be assigned to individual students).
Your Assignment or Quiz MUST have a due date.
That due date MUST be the same for everyone, if assigned to everyone.
The due date CAN differ if assigned to different sections (entire sections only).
The due date CAN be extended for some students ONLY if the assignment is assigned to everyone.
The due date CAN NOT be different for each student or groups of students.
All Students MUST have SIS ID’s in Canvas for grades to post for the students.

Canvas and PowerTeacher Pro Grade Passback (Google Slides)
If you are having Grade Sync issues, the slide deck above is a step-by-step troubleshooting guide that will help you get back on track. This was done specifically for the North Carolina versions of Canvas and PTP. We have found that a teacher needs to set up everything in PTP first, then go to Canvas to finish setting it up. If done in reverse, the grade sync will be broken.
This is an extensive guide from Canvas on the PTP Grade Passback. It should solve many problems that users are experiencing.
