Canvas Grades highlights assignment statuses with a default set of five different colors; understanding the colors can help you quickly scan the Grades to identify students with a specific status.

• Blue: Late submission
• Red: Missing submission
• Green: Resubmitted assignment or quiz
• Orange: Dropped grade
• Yellow: Excused assignment

For Turnitin assignments, the gradebook also displays colored icons based on the submission’s Similarity Report score.

• Blue: No matching text
• Green: One word to 24% matching text
• Yellow: 25-49% matching text
• Orange: 50-74% matching text
• Red: 75-100% matching text
• Gray: Similarity Report has not been generated yet

For more information about Similarity Report scores, see Turnitin’s Interpreting the Similarity Report page.
