Adding blank columns to your gradebook

Columns in the gradebook are only created by adding an assignment in Canvas.  If you need to create a column in the gradebook for manual grading (e.g., in-class presentations, participation points, etc.), you can do so by creating a No Submission or On Paper assignment.

1. Click Assignments in the course navigation menu.
2. Click +Assignment.
3. Enter an Assignment Name.
4. Enter the number of Points for the assignment.
5. In the Submission Type field, select either No Submission or On Paper.  These are essentially the same thing in this context.
6. Click Save or Save & Publish.  Note that assignments do not show in the gradebook until they've been published.
