Canvas assignments and quizzes are automatically assigned to everyone in your course. However, you may need to accommodate an individual student with an extended due date or even early access to a quiz or assignment.
To add a special due date for an individual student (or students), you must add an additional due date.
- Navigate to the assignment or quiz. You can navigate to the "Assign Access" window two different ways:
- Click the Assign To button in the upper right corner.
- Or by clicking the Edit button and scrolling to the bottom of the page.
- Click the Assign To button in the upper right corner.
- Make sure to leave the Assign to Everyone rule, you will be adding an additional assign rule.
- Note: Do not remove "Everyone" from the original due date or else existing attempts and scores will be removed from the assignment or quiz.
- Click the + Assign To button. This will create a new Assign To window.
- Click in the new Assign to field that appears, and select the student or students who need additional time.
- Set the extended deadline dates for the student. Make sure that if you have set Available from and Until dates in the initial assignment settings that you modify the Until field to allow the student access up until their extended due date.
- You can assign multiple students if they all have the same new due date. For each different additional due date, you will need to use the + Assign To feature, repeating the steps above.
