Instructor Topics of Interest:
Are your grades syncing between Canvas Synergy?
If you answered NO, double check that the NIGHTLY SYNC is checked under Grade Sync > Utilities on each course.
Look at the History tab under Grade Sync. Is there a red ! beside the word completed? Click on "Completed" then Warnings & Errors. This will give information on the source of the problem. HINT: Your assignment category names in Canvas must match your assignment category names in Synergy exactly or grades will not transfer.
Extra Credit points cannot be entered onto an assignment for more than twice the points possible on any given assignment.
Imported Assignments from previous courses or Commons will need to have updated assignment dates in order to avoid the “No grading period found” error message.
If this does not fix the problem, contact your Canvas Tech Lead at your building or contact Katy Scinta at ext. 4022 or email kscinta@roseburg.k12or.us for further assistance.
