Canvas to myUTSA Account Grade Transfer​

Generally, grade entry opens one week before midterm grades are due, and on the first day of final exams. For specific dates, please review the transfer dates listed above. 

No, myUTSA Account will only accept letter grades. Any values other than a letter will not be transferred. For a list of accepted letter grades, please visit the Course Catalog. 

Yes, you may turn on and off your grading scheme at any time through your course settings.

Courses with zero credit hours will not transfer to myUTSA Account. Grades will need to be entered in the course with credit hours.

At this time, only the grade entered in the Total column will be prepopulated in the grade transfer form. However, the prepopulated grades can be overwritten before they are submitted. 

No, there will be no automatic transfer of grades from Canvas to myUTSA Account. The instructor of record will need to access the “Grade Transfer” Tool and click “submit” to transfer grades. 

After clicking submit, you will see a green success message appear along the top of the page stating, “There were # successful submissions.” You will also see that the checkboxes under the “Submitted” column are now checked.

Please review our self-help instructions that provide additional details or contact Academic Innovation for assistance. 

Only individuals listed as the instructor of record for a course will have access to submit grades via the Grade Transfer tool. TAs and Designers will see the tool in their course navigation, but will not have access to view or submit grades. 

Rather than submitting a traditional grade comment, we’ll be utilizing the “Last Attended Date” functionality. The Registrar’s Office will then use these dates to determine the appropriate grade comment. 

• Never Attended: If your student has never attended the class, please enter the first day of the semester.
• Stopped Attending Class: If your student has stopped attending class, please enter their last day of attendance.
• Actively Attending/Attended until end of term: If your student is still actively attending or has attended until the end of the semester, please enter the date you’re submitting grades. 

When submitting ‘F’ grades via Canvas, faculty are asked to enter a “Last Attended Date” using the guidance above. The dates entered will be used by the Registrar’s Office to determine the appropriate grade comment. When validating grades in myUTSA Account, you may see an error stating “Grade Comment (01, 02 or 03) required for this grade.” If you correctly entered a “Last Attended Date,” you can ignore this error message.
