Students always have the option to resubmit their assignments. As an instructor, you can decide how to handle assignment resubmissions.

You do have the option to set availability dates for each assignment. Availability dates can restrict the dates that an assignment can be submitted.

You may also designate custom due dates and availability for select students who may need more time to submit.

All assignment submissions can be viewed in SpeedGrader.

Set Availability for Assignment

If you want to keep students from resubmitting assignments after a certain date, you can change the Assignment availability dates. Create a new assignment, and fill in your submission options. At the bottom of the page, you will choose the Assign options. Fill in the due date, and then the availability dates. Next to the date you want to change, choose the Calendar icon.

Select dates for assignment availability

Add Additional Due Dates for Assignments

If you have any students who require an extension on an assignment, you can give them their own specific due dates (this can be done after the assignment is published as well).

When setting availability for an assignment (see previous step), click +Add.

Click to select students for custom availability

By default, Canvas will set your assignment for everyone in your course. To create the assignment for specific sections or users, click the Everyone 'remove icon (looks like an 'x')' [1], then start to type in the name of a section or user [2]. Search fields are dynamic, and you can search for students by first or last name. When the full name appears, click the name. Lists are not scrollable.

Type in new due date and availability

In the date fields, add your preferred date(s) with the following options:

Due [1]: Set the date and time that the Assignment is due. The due date will already be populated for you if you created an assignment shell, but you can change it if necessary.
Available From [2]: Set the date and time when the Assignment will become available.
Until [3]: Set the date and time when the Assignment will no longer be available.

When finished, click Save.
