How do I find assignments for students that transfer to another class?
@connie_higgins Welcome!
When a student transfers to another class in Canvas, the assignments/submissions stay in the old Canvas course, but won't be viewable unless you add the student back in. If you can't add the student back in, because your institution has restricted that, then you will need to talk to your Canvas Admin to assist with this. Thanks!
@connie_higgins The assignments and scores belong to the course, not the student so the data does not travel with them. If a student moves from course A to course B, all their assignments and scores are still stored in course A. They would have to be manually entered into course B. If you are the instructor for course A, assuming your institution allows it (could be blocked), you can manually add the student back via the "People" page and all their previous assignments and scores will return too. If you are the instructor of course B (that received the students) you would need to work with the previous instructor to get any assignments or scores.
Hope this helps!

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…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
