Why aren't my assessment scores sent to Canvas?

This article is intended only for customers and partners using Canvas. Our Canvas integration is available for schools and districts who purchase our School Essentials PRO package.


Since it isn't possible to "Release Scores" to students for assessments in the same way as our normal CommonLit assignments, CommonLit will not send individual students' scores to Canvas. Linking an assessment to Canvas will only allow students to access those assessments from Canvas. CommonLit will not mark the assessment as turned in on Canvas, nor will CommonLit send scores to Canvas. Teachers should click Go to CommonLit to view assessment data.


For additional guidance on how to share assessment scores with students, please refer to the following FAQ: How can I share Assessment Series scores with students?
