Users can add a Notes column in the Gradebook to keep track of extra information in their course, such as student nickname, accommodation information, or other specific student details. While the Notes column is not visible to students, they are part of the student record, and appropriate grammar and punctuation are recommended.
To enable the Notes column, open the Canvas grade book and select the settings gear icon.
In the Gradebook Settings sidebar, select View Options(1), check Show Notes(2), and select Apply Settings (3).
The notes column will appear to the right of the Student's Name. Select a cell to begin adding a note.
