Canvas: Ungraded Assignments No Longer Create Gradebook Columns
New ungraded assignments no longer create Canvas gradebook columns. Existing ones keep columns unless deleted in Canvas and redeployed.

As part of our LTIA (1.3) integration with Canvas, starting April 24, 2026, newly deployed ungraded (0‑point) assignments will no longer generate a column in the Canvas gradebook.
What's new
Newly deployed ungraded assignments will not appear as a column in the Canvas gradebook.
What stays the same
Ungraded assignments that were deployed before this release will remain as-is, including their existing gradebook columns. Copying those assignments between Canvas courses will also carry the gradebook column over.
Cleaning up existing assignments
To remove the gradebook column from a previously deployed ungraded assignment, delete the assignment in Canvas (not in Connect) and redeploy it. Once redeployed, the assignment follows the new behavior and won't create a column when copied to future term courses.
*When launching into Connect from Modules, please allow a few seconds for the gradebook columns to disappear. If you deploy a larger number of ungraded assignments at once, it may take up to 15 seconds.
Note: Automatic zeros will not apply to ungraded assignments without a gradebook column.
