Is there a way for students to see assignments in Canvas when they are locked? I have locked assignments to prevent students from submitting before the week they are due, but students are now not able to see the assignment description in Cnavas until I unlock the assignments. Is there a way for me to allow students to see the assignment in Canvas when the assignment is locked for submissions?
Hi @PhillipLuck ,
Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!
When the assignment is locked, you are prohibiting students from viewing the full assignment, which includes but is not necessarily limited to, the descriptions, submit button, etc. That being said, in most instances, students will not be able to access any information for that assignment unless it is unlocked. However, you mentioned that your students are wanting to see the information before submitting. Something you can do is change the Submission type to 'No Submission' in your assignment's settings, and then when you are ready to have them start submitting you can change the submission type back to what you wish for it to be. This will allow students to see the information but will not have any option to submit the assignment yet.
I hope this helps!
Hello! I'm going to add a couple of questions to this thread too. @PhillipLuck, are your students accessing the assignments/activities with a browser or the Canvas Student App? Also, does your institution use Assignment Enhancements?
Thanks all! I should have mentioned that I am using the "free" version of Canvas, so that may have something to do with it as well. Students are accessing Canvas through a web browser.
I wish there was a way to prevent students from submitting after a certain date without locking the assignment. I'd like students to still be able to access the assignment to reflect on it after it has been graded, but I am not accepting late submissions.
Hi @AniaBigda
Just set the 'Available To' date to be the same as the 'due date' - that should do the jpb ...

Could anyone please tell me if there is an option in courses for teachers or at the account level for admins to turn of What-If grades for students? Thank you in advance! fingers crossed
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
