Exporting Grades to include the student ID in Canvas

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
