Bulk Award Canvas Badges

Canvas Badges can be awarded in bulk to a group of recipients instead of awarding individual recipients separately. The first step to awarding a badge in bulk is to upload the list of recipients. You’ll then use this list to bulk award the badge.

Create a List of Recipients

Step 2

Locate the downloaded file and open it with MS Excel. The Email field is required. You can edit the remaining optional fields to fit your needs for awarding badges:

  • Email (required)
  • Recipient name (optional)
  • Narrative (optional)
  • Evidence URL (optional)
  • Issue date (optional)
  • Expiration date (optional)

Step 3

After you have edited the sheet with the list of recipients, save it as a .csv file. You can now return to your Canvas Credentials Issuer page and proceed with using this new file for bulk awarding a badge.
