Can I change the point value of a CommonLit assignment linked to Canvas?

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


All CommonLit lessons are worth 100 percentage points on CommonLit. 


Canvas users can set the point value for a CommonLit lesson and how to display the grade on Canvas when creating the assignment on Canvas.


For instructions on creating CommonLit assignments on Canvas please refer to this article: How do I post or add an assignment to Canvas?


To change the point value of a CommonLit lesson on Canvas, edit the Points section when creating a Canvas assignment. You can also select how you would like the grade to be displayed. 


Then, when scores are passed back from CommonLit to Canvas, they will be calculated and displayed according to the assignment's Points and Display Grade As settings on Canvas.
