Canvas: Assigning Due Dates to an Individual Student, a Group or Multiple Sections
Below is an explanation of how to assign a different due date for an individual student, a group or a section:
Assign to Student
By default, Canvas will set your quiz for everyone in your course. To create the quiz for a specific student, click the Everyone remove icon [1], then start to type in the name of a student [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.
You can include more than one student in the To field as long as the students are to be assigned the same due and availability dates.
Assign Different Dates for Groups
By default, Canvas will assign your assignment to everyone in your course. To add new due and availability dates for other users in your course, click the Add button [1].
Then start to type the name of the group in the new Assign to field [2]. Search fields are dynamic, and you can search by any part of the group name. Click the group's name when it appears [3]. Lists are not scrollable.
You can include more than one group in the Assign to field as long as the groups are to be assigned the same due and availability dates.
