When I import a course using a Canvas Course Export Package, how do I change the dates so assignment's due dates reflect the new term dates?
Hello @BJCarl ...
If you are importing course content from one course to another within the same school Canvas environment, you don't necessarily need to first download the course export package and then import it into your new course. It's much easier, in my opinion, to just use the directions in:
How do I copy content from another Canvas course using the Course Import tool?
...where you would want to be logged into the new course (the course that doesn't have any content in it yet), and then as you are following these instructions, you'll be selecting the course where the content currently lives. This will import (copy) the content from course to course for you, and you should be able to adjust event and due dates as well.
Now, if you've you're already past that process, there's another way to edit all your assignment due dates on one screen...and that is via your "Assignments" index page. Check out this Guide:
How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor?
Hopefully this will be of some help to you. Again, if you're working within the same school Canvas environment, it shouldn't be necessary to first export a file and then re-upload the file to a new course. Save yourself a step there and just import/copy content from one course to another. 🙂

How can I delete complete calendars for courses already past? As a teacher I am not able to look at or update the calendar for my next course, but if I change to the student view it shows the calendar just fine. I assume this is because CANVAS selects only the first 10 calendars to show, and I am sure I am beyond that…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
