Making Assignments Available to Students
If one or more students are unable to view or access an assignment here are a few steps you can take to ensure that everything is configured correctly.
Confirm Existing Assignment
In Course Navigation, click the Assignments [1]. Then the assignment is listed on the Assignments page [2].
Confirm Assignment Status
Assignment is published [1].
Review Assignment Details
Click the assignment name, and click the Edit button.
Question
Yes. Check Step 2. and then go to the next section of "Review Assign to Fields".
No. Go to the next section of "Review Assign to Fields".
Step 2.
All dates are not before or past the assignment availability date range.
Review Assign to Fields
By default, Canvas assigns new assignments to all students enrolled in your course. But you can assign assignments to a specific group or section.
Question
Yes. Check Step 3. and then go to the next section of "Confirm Module Status".
No. Go to the next section of "Confirm Module Status".
Step 3.
The students who cannot access the assignment are properly enrolled in a section or assigned in a group [1].
For this step, you need to click the People link from the course navigation bar and check the group's enrollment.
Confirm Module Status
If you use Module, the Module and Module items are marked as published.
You can use this checklist for other components in Canvas that one or more students cannot access, such as Pages, Quizzes, and Files... if you use Module, confirm both overall Module and the Module items are marked as published. If only one of the two is published, the students will not be able to see all of the content.
