If I put a student who is missing a lot of work in a new section that I create within the same course- can she have different close dates
How do I upload a student's assignment submission to a Canvas assignment when it was sent to me via email?
Hi - I have students submit .java files to Canvas, and I use SpeedGrader to give line-by-line feedback. This stopped working in the last couple days - student files show up in preview has containing the content "JWT rejected: JTI has already been used" instead of the correct content of their file. Thus I cannot give…
I was wanting to request an addition to the canvas system. I was wondering if it would be possible to place a roster count on the grade book page. I manage multiple classes and sometimes when I am booking a room or requesting items for a lab it would be incredibly nice to just open the course grade book and have the number…
Has anyone had the issue of assignment grades changing to zero before the due date? Yes, the teacher has the "automatically apply grade for missing submission" turned on, but Canvas is not waiting for the due date. This is not happening all the time, just every now and then and I cannot figure out why. Any help is greatly…

Are Public Courses available to enrolled ASU Students? Are the credits applicable, or are the courses available but the credits are not applicable towards my degree? Thanks
Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template? I download the csv file and fill in the Canvas Rubric template from the Enhanced Grading feature and nothing happens when I try to upload it. It only shows the file name, but not it's size. Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
Our students learn incrementally, so they often need to easily access old courses from previous years in order to complete current year's material. The only method of doing this is to navigate to 'All Courses', then they scroll down to 'Past enrolments'. Unlike me (teacher), they cannot 'Favorite' a past enrolment so it is…
