Popular Student Questions:

Why do the Due Dates show up on the Calendar for one class, but not for another? I really like the Canvas Due Dates and find them useful.

Instructors can enter Due Dates into Canvas Assignments, Quizzes, Discussion Boards, etc. and this automatically populates the Canvas Syllabus and Canvas Calendar with those Due Dates.

Students - please contact your instructor and let them know how valuable this feature is for you and your classmates.
Instructors - Enter due dates as you create assignments and update them each semester.
- How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor?
