Importing Course

Question

When using the import course feature, it does not import the dates assignments are due, nor does it import the sections the assignments are assigned to. When i previously created courses from the template course all the information was imported.

Hi @Mjconwayjr,

There were some conversations (for example, https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/Importing-Section-Due-Dates/td-p/644434) that have happened recently in the Community about the course import feature, sections, and assignment dates.

If I recall and if I understand your original post, when dates are assigned assignments to specific sections in "course A", when "course A" is imported into "course B"  (which also has at least one section, whether the default section or another section intentionally made either by the GUI/SIS/CSV) those dates are not assigned to assignments because the import process does not know what to assign them too.

Am I understanding you?

Hi @Mjconwayjr

I have noticed some changes in the import process recently, from even just the look and feel of it through to the general process. This guide about adjusting dates in the import process might be of interest to you.

Let me know how you go.

Thanks
