Review Cross-Listed Courses and Final Exam Schedule

If you have cross-listed sections in a Canvas course, different sections in your course likely have different final exam times. You can use the Differentiated Assignment feature to set different due/availability dates for different sections for the same exam.

Check Course Grading Schemes

Every Canvas course has a grading scheme turned on by default with the grades that are acceptable at CSU. Instructors can modify, turn off, or create their own course grading scheme.

Import Canvas Final Letter Grades into ARIESweb

Spring 2025 final grades are due Tuesday May 20, 2025, by 2 pm.

Instructors can upload a file which contains their Canvas final grades into ARIESweb. Prior to exporting the file, any missing assignments in your Canvas gradebook should be given a 0 or an Ex (for excused). This will ensure the grades in Canvas are consistent with the grades entered in ARIESweb.

Incompletes

Our Extended Course Access page shows how to create an Incomplete section in your Canvas course to provide continued access to only the student(s) who need to complete an Incomplete.

Allow Student “Read Only” Access to a Previous Course

Canvas courses close automatically to student access 2 – 3 weeks after a semester ends. Instructors can choose to allow students to have continued “read only” access to a previous semester’s course, which will allow students the ability view course materials. Students will not be able to complete assignments or see quiz questions.
