Assignment date separate from due date or availability date

Question

I teach a chemistry class, and some of my students are confused by due dates for lab assignments because I have them turn in the write up a week after the lab. On their Canvas calendar, however, this makes it look like we're doing a lab a week later than it should be.

Is there a way to create a separate date on the calendar where the lab experiment will be conducted?

Hi @JamesKCOS ,

You can create a course event that will show on the calendar - Lab 5.1 on May 23. This will show on their course calendar and then your Lab 5.1 Write-up assignment will show on the due date.
