Canvas - Adjusting All Dates in Course after Couse Copy

*Note: You need to talk to Michael Galloway, SCIS Assistant Director of Platform and Technology Support, BEFORE you handle copying material between Canvas and Bb Learn or between Canvas sections.*

When Canvas materials are first copied or exported from Bb Learn in bulk you can adjusted all dates based on start/end quarter.

• We recommend: Monday of Week 1, Friday of Finals Week, though we're still experimenting.
• Dates may still be off a bit, even if you do this right.
• You honestly still need to check each assignment's date.

Super Helpful Tip!

1. After the copy/export from Bb Learn or another Canvas section, go to:
2. Canvas course > Assignments > 3 dots in upper right > Edit Assignment Dates
3. The bulk update option lets you shift multiple due dates by 1 or more days.
4. You can ALSO see all assignment due dates here.
5. Recommend setting assignment due dates you're not sure about to something way in the future:
   1. 1/1/2050 or something.
6. That way, they don't seem past due until you decide when due, or if to use.
   1. Canvas course > Assignments > 3 dots in upper right > Edit Assignment Dates
7. This page also lets you see all due dates, availability dates, and until dates.
8. Makes it easy to check and set each one.
