Reference Number: AA-00820 Last Updated: 2024-06-26 12:28

Why do I need to sync my assignments?

If you want to sync Hawkes assignment grades to your Canvas course, you must first sync the Hawkes assignments.

When do I need to sync my assignments?

You will need to sync your assignments at the beginning of each term and throughout the term if you add additional Hawkes assignments after the start of the term.

How to Sync Assignments

1. As an instructor in Canvas, choose your course and open the Hawkes Sync Tool.

2. Select the Assignments tab.

3. Select the individual assignments (light green rows) you would like to sync over by selecting the checkbox next to the assignment name(s).


  • We recommend syncing over each individual Hawkes assignment (light green rows), as opposed to the Assignment Groups (dark green rows) since the Hawkes Assignment Group grades will not be fully accurate until all due dates have passed.
  • If you have more than 40 Hawkes Grade Items, you must open the Results drop-down menu and select Show All to view all Grade Items. Otherwise, all items will not be synced over.

4. Review the Actions to Perform column for each assignment you are syncing.

  • Select "Create LMS Column" from the drop-down box, or
  • Select the corresponding assignment name from the drop-down box if you already have columns created in Canvas for each assignment.

5. Select Sync.


6. Select Continue and Confirm on the subsequent pages.
