Exporting Canvas grades to include the student ID in canvas (Staff Guide)

The native Canvas Grades Export facility does not export the Student ID; to export the full Grades area, including the Student ID, you should use the Grades Export tool in your ‘My Canvas Admin’ area.

1. Once logged in, click on Account
2. Click on My Canvas Admin

Access 'my canvas admin' via the 'acount' section in the Canvas main menu 

3. Click the Settings cog next to the course you would like to export. The sub menu indicates the total number of students who will be exported in the spreadsheet.

Click on the cog next to the course you would like to export, and then select 'export students' from the menu 

Please note, any students with an 'inactive' status on the course (dropped from the Course, in SIS) will still display in this spreadsheet.

 

4. The processing screen will display until the export has finished.  The time take for this to complete will vary, depending on the size of the cohort.

A loading symbol will appear whilst the data request is processed. 

5. The export is now available to Open or Save, the file may automatically be added to your downloads folder.

6. The full Grades area, including the Student ID will be displayed in the LJMU_PersonNumber column.

The spreadsheet contains the students person number, and grades area for the course
