As an instructor, you will often assign work to students that you don't need to collect or grade. Rather than having these cluttering up your gradebook, it's easy to mark them as ungraded assignments in Canvas but still have them as to-do items for students in your course.

1. Click on the Assignments link in the left-hand menu navigation of your course.

Not Graded assignments show up in student to-do lists and on the Calendar, but do not appear in the gradebook.
When you create a Not Graded assignment, there will no longer be the option to accept "online submissions" for this assignment.
