Grade Submission Deadlines

The ISU Academic Calendar posts the following official grade submission deadlines:

Friday, March 8 (2:15 p.m.): Midterm grades for Spring 2024 due in Canvas and AccessPlus by 2:15 p.m.

Tuesday, May 14 (2:15 p.m.): Final grades for Spring 2024 due in Canvas or AccessPlus by 2:15 p.m.

Grading in Canvas

The Canvas Gradebook calculates and communicates students’ grades throughout the semester. Instructors who grade in Canvas can easily transfer midterm and final grades to the Office of the Registrar. Read the information below to learn how to weight grades, exclude columns, calculate students’ final grades, and what special considerations might exist.

Midterm and final course grades can be submitted via ISU AdminTools in Canvas, which seamlessly integrates with the Canvas gradebook. ISU AdminTools offers self-guided checks of the gradebook to ensure accurate reporting of student work. To learn more about the grade submission process, check ISU AdminTools: Submit Grades. Once the submission is complete, grades are automatically transferred to the Office of the Registrar, and instructors receive a confirmation email. Instructors have the option to submit grades via Canvas or AccessPlus until the end of the Summer 2024 term. However, starting with Fall 2024 and the implementation of Workday Student, midterm and final course grades will be submitted via ISU AdminTools in Canvas and Workday Student.
