    • The 'Dashes treated as excused' column represents the final grade if you treat ungraded items (represented by -) in the gradebook as excused for the students upon submission to KSIS. This might artificially raise the student's grade if you leave items ungraded where a 0 is intended.
    • The 'Dashes treated as 0' column represents the final grade if you treat ungraded items (represented by -) as a 0 (zero) for the students upon submission to KSIS. The For letter grades will be the same for most because you have given zeros (0) or excused (EX) any ungraded dashes in your gradebook. But if you have forgotten something or left dashes in the grades, this will help you identify it.
    • The 'Canvas Override' column represents the override grade you have entered in the course gradebook after enabling Final Grade Override. To use them, check the Use final override grade when available box.
    • The 'Current Grade' column represents any grade already copied to KSIS so you can confirm if you are overwriting something. This column will read N/A for most as no grades have been copied yet. On the Confirm Grades for KSIS screen, select the specific grades to copy to KSIS and click Continue. You may print this screen for your records with the Print button in the upper right of the page. There are three columns:
