The Final Grade Override allows you to enter a final grade for students that is different from the grade automatically calculated by Canvas in the Total column in the Gradebook. You can enter a letter grade or a percentage. A letter grade results in the lower bound of the grading scheme. A percentage is retained as the override score.
Students will see the overridden grade in their Grades page, however, they will not know the score has been overridden (the total grade column).
Some notes to keep in mind about enabling/using the Grade Override option:
- The override column is included in Gradebook exports. However, overridden grades cannot be changed through a Gradebook import.
- After the final grade override feature option has been enabled in a course, both the Gradebook and Final Grade Override options cannot be disabled.
- Final grade override actions are not recorded in the Grading History page, which only records changes for individual assignments.
- If the student context card feature option is enabled for an account, the student context card displays the override grade for a student.
