My instructor says her end is showing the assignments as published, but they are not showing in my portal. She has advised me to start a ticket with Canvas. How do I do that?
Hi @KarinBesand ...
Unfortunately, the vast majority of us here in the Canvas Community are unable to see your school's Canvas environment or the course you are taking. I am not 100% sure of this, but your instructor may have the course configured such that you access most or all of the content via the "Modules" page of the course. Do you see an "Assignments" link on the left-hand course navigation menu? How do I view Assignments as a student? If you do not see the "Assignments" link in your course, then this means your instructor has most likely chosen to hide this menu option from you and your classmates. Not to worry, though. If your instructor has hidden this menu from you and your classmates, hopefully he/she has also added the assignment to the "Modules" page of your course so that you can access the assignment and the directions. But, this may have also been an oversight on the part of your instructor. If the "Assignments" page is not available, and if your instructor has "published" the assignment, it is possible that your instructor just forgot to add the assignment to one of the modules on the "Modules" page of the course. Even though your instructor has indicated that the assignment is published, your instructor should ensure that he/she either:
If the above does not apply, and if you and your instructor are still having difficulties with this issue, then you can reach out to the Canvas Help Desk staff by using the "Help" menu found on the far left-hand global navigation menu in Canvas. How do I get help with Canvas?
I hope the above information will be of some help to you. Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
Hi everyone, I'm an ed-tech administrator at a Brazilian higher education institution (SENAI CIMATEC) and I'm trying to understand a persistent image visibility issue we experienced during a large-scale exam on May 15, 2026. Here's the full picture: What happened: We applied a quiz via New Quizzes to the entire institution…
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
