Using the “Excused” Grade Setting in Canvas
Looking for a way to indicate that a student is exempt from a particular assignment in the gradebook? While there are other ways to do this on the “front end” of the assignment (to actually prevent the student from accessing the submission portal for that assignment), while you’re in the process of grading you can simply use the letters “EX” in a gradebook cell to indicate that the student is Excused or Exempt.
Typing EX in the cell will cause the grade to show as “EXCUSED,” both to teachers and students. This works both in the regular Gradebook spreadsheet and SpeedGrader views, as well as via imported Gradebook spreadsheets!
Please contact your ID3 Specialist if you have any questions about using “EX” Grades in your course.
