Transfer grades from Canvas to Ladok
The "KTH Transfer to Ladok" function helps you to transfer grades from published assignments in Canvas to Ladok modules. In order for the transfer to work, certain criteria for the assignment in Canvas must be met. Here you will find the information on how to use the function, both presented in text and in a short video.
Important to note before you start using KTH Transfer to Ladok
You need to have the right role in Ladok to be able to transfer grades. Read more about Ladok for employees at KTH .
Assessments are transferred to the draft status of a Ladok module, either the module that the examination room is connected to, or the module you choose yourself if you transfer from a course room. Assessments for students who already have corresponding grades in Ladok with the status "marked as ready" or "certified" will not be transferred from Canvas. Use Ladok to update grades with that status.
Keep in mind that the result for a course module has to be reported to Ladok within 15 working days after the examination date.
What can be transferred from Canvas?
Assessments can be transferred from both course rooms and examination rooms. Assessments that are expressed as letter grades in a column in the Canvas Gradebook can be transferred. This means that results from Classic Quizzes cannot be transferred. It is also possible to transfer the Total column in the Gradebook. Transferring examination points is currently not supported.
How to set a grading scheme on an assignment
The assignment that corresponds to the column in Canvas Gradebook needs to be configured to use the same grading system that is used in Ladok.

Go to "Display grade as" in the assignment settings and select "Letter grade".
Click on "View grading scheme" and check that the grading scheme corresponds to the grading system used for the Ladok module. Click "Select another scheme" to select another grading scheme. There are two ready-made suggestions that can be used, which have the names:

- "A-F grading scheme (including Fx)"
- "Pass/Fail grading scheme 80%"
Alternatively you can create your own grading scheme and make it work with KTH Transfer to Ladok. Then use the same characters as in the already mentioned grading schemes, but enter your own percentage limits for the scheme. Read more about handling grading schemes.
If you want to use the Transfer to Ladok tool but have a way of weighing grades that is not supported in Canvas, you should still select a Letter grade that matches the grades used for the Ladok module. You can then, through export and import to the Gradebook, make your own weighting of the assessments/grades and then transfer them to Ladok. Read more about weighting options for grades .
