Adding Notes to Canvas Gradebook

Adding Notes to Canvas Gradebook

Canvas has a feature where you can add notes for specific students in the Gradebook if you'd like. You may find this feature helpful to flag which students you've given 48 hour, or 5-day extension to (more information on extensions can be found in this article).

To use this feature, first you will need to click on the gear icon on the right hand side of the gradebook and then select View Options, select "Notes". 

Then, click "View Options" -> click the check box for "Notes"-> and click "Apply Settings".

After this is saved, you will be able to double click in any students row under the "Notes" colum of the gradebook to add a note.

These will only be visible to you and other eCornell staff members.
