Import Grades from Testing Center (TEMC)

Teachers who use TEMC's test scanning and scoring service can quickly import their exam scores into their Canvas course sites.

For more information on TEMC and their services, please visit their website.

In order for the CSV file to import into the Canvas gradebook, a few conditions will apply.

1. The CSV file should not be modified in any major way or the teacher risks breaking the format for import.
2. When requesting the data file, the For Canvas checkbox option for CSV file must be selected. If this is not selected the data file cannot be imported into Canvas.

Information about the CSV file from TEMC

The CSV file from TEMC will have the following column titles based on the options the teacher selected on their request form;

If the file does not match this format, it is likely you did not request the Canvas CSV file or that you are viewing a different file.

NOTE: Columns A - E should not be altered. Columns following E may vary in title based on how the TEMC request form was filled out form. You may edit the titles of these columns to match the name of your exam.

Student names and scores will appear in the subsequent cells.
