Submitting Final Grades in Canvas

Introduction

In Canvas, students' final grades are submitted by selecting the Submit Final Grades to MySPC button in the Gradebook in each individual course. You may be accustomed to finding this button in the Faculty Tools, but in Canvas, it's in the Grades tab of your class. This guide reviews the process for submitting your students' final letter grades to SPC's enrollment and student information system (MySPC).

Grade Errors

If you made an error in your grades, and you realize this soon after submitting, contact the Academic Technology Support team via email at atst@spcollege.edu or call us at 727-341-3500. If it is within an hour of submission, we may be able to reset your grades so you can resubmit. If we're not able to reset, then you'll need to submit a grade change form for each student. In any event, please contact us as soon as you notice the error and we will work with you and communicate next steps.
