If I have an assignment that has a dropbox with an online submission, is there anyway to lock the dropbox and have the assignment stay open to be seen by students still??
Hello,
Yes, if the submission dates are closed then your students will not be able to continue to make submissions but they will still be able to see the assignment and their own submission.
I'm also including some information on the difference between availability dates and due dates for your reference.

In addition to the helpful information you've received from @kylieannpugh, I'd like to just briefly address the terminology of "Dropbox" for clarification purposes. Canvas does not have a "Dropbox" for assignments. Students just submit their work to assignments, but there's no further "Dropbox" terminology that's associated with that. Also, as you may already know, Dropbox.com is a completely different website for cloud storage of personal files, for example. Finally, when I was a Canvas administrator in higher education in Wisconsin, before we migrated to Canvas, we were using a LMS called Pearson eCollege's LearningStudio, and students had a "Dropbox" to submit work to their instructors.
Even though this didn't really help to address your question, I hope this little bit of information will be helpful to you.

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template?

Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
