End of Semester Checklist


1. Add Course End Date if Needed

If your course does not use Term Dates, be sure you have updated the Course Dates. If you don’t know how this works, learn more about course Availability settings in Canvas.

2. Put in Zeroes for Missing Assignments

If students are missing assignments you will need to put in zeroes for those missing assignments. The easiest way to do this is to open your Grade Center and look for empty grade cells. Selecting the “Treat missing assignments as zero” option in the Grade Center settings does not actually record a grade of zero in your gradebook and it may result in students seeing inflated overall scores in their Grades view.

3. Download Your Gradebook

You can download a spreadsheet of your Gradebook data from the Canvas.

4. Students With Incompletes

If you have a student or students who need access to a course site after the course is concluded, contact the Teaching and Learning Technologies team at classes@emory.edu.
