Moving Your Final Grades from Canvas to SOLAR

The best way to enter final grades is to download your Canvas gradebook and import them into SOLAR for final submission. By doing this, you don't have to manually enter a letter grade for each student in SOLAR.

This grading submission method isn't new but many faculty don't know that utilizing this method will enable you to: save time, be more efficient through fewer clicks and reduce grade entry errors.

Learn this method once and save time year after year!
