When downloading grade information for record retention it is not a good idea to keep that information on your desktop. Iowa State University uses CyBox for online file storage. CyBox meets all university standards for security and privacy including HIPAA and FERPA. Therefore, securely storing Canvas grades in CyBox is important for academic record-keeping. View the University Records Retention website for more information.
In Course Navigation (left menu), click the Grades link.
Click the Actions menu [1], then click the Export link [2].
When the export is completed, Canvas will download the CSV file automatically to your computer.
If you navigate away from the page during the export, the CSV file will appear as a previous download in the Actions menu so it can be downloaded again. The Gradebook will show the date and time you requested the export.
If you made changes to the Gradebook after exporting a file and want to export a new file, click the Export link again.
Note: Gradebook export files include the date and time of the download to differentiate between multiple exports. The export filename format is YYYY-MM-DDTHHMM, followed by the course name.
