Grading Multiple Students at Once in Canvas
- In the Canvas Gradebook, click on the 3-dot column heading of the assignment you want to “bulk grade.”
- Select “Set Default Grade.”
- Add the score or grade you want all of the empty grade cells to receive in the box, and click “Set Default Grade.”
Note: As long as you do NOT check “Overwrite already-entered grades,” only empty grade cells will be affected.
