Assignments do not appear in Student view

I published several assignments in a group that are visible in the Instructor view but that do NOT appear when I switch to Student view. This is what is visible in the Instructor view:

When I switch to Student view, the entire group disappears.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Students do not have the same view of the Assignments page as Instructors do. They do not see the Assignments group weight on the Assignments page, but they do see the subtotals when they review their grades for the class. Here is a guide that shows the two Assignments page views that students have available, Show by Date and Show by Type:

Here is a link to how students view their Assignment group weighted grades on their grade page:

Is the module containing these assignments published?

Yes, the group has been published.

Hello @lsimmons11 ,

Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!

A few things to consider when fixing this problem are the following:

1) Is the module itself containing these assignments published?

2) Are the assignments only available to specific students? (test student doesn't have access to these assignments).

3) Are the assignments only available to specific course sections that for some reason the test student isn't enrolled in? (it should be enrolled in all by default).

If you have the module published for all students, as well as the assignments within, and it still isn't appearing, I'd recommend reaching out to Canvas support by using the 'Help' link via your global navigation bar, then clicking Report a Problem and filling out the form, it doesn't take too long.

I have experienced this issue myself not too long ago, actually. The module took about 5 minutes to appear for all students even though I published it for everyone prior to that time.

I hope this helps a bit, always feel welcome to reach out with any additional questions or concerns!

All the best,
Noah

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
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…
Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
Issues with Discussion Checkpoints
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
