When assigning, you have the ability to add due dates and set availability for each assignment. 

Set a Due Date

Add due dates to any assignment you wish. It is not required, and you may choose to leave the date as None.

 To assign a due date:

1. Click anywhere in the due date field. 
2. Select the date and time you expect the assignment to be completed. 
3. Once a date is selected, the time will default to 11:59 pm. You can change this in the bottom left corner of the calendar.

Set an Available From Date

Assigning a date in the Available From field defines when students will be able to view the assignment. This date is required. If left empty, the date will default to “Now” (available as soon as you create the assignment). You can change the date and time to any time in the future to better control what your students are able to see. Click anywhere in the Available From field to display a calendar and change the date.

Set an Available Until Date

Pre-set a closing date for an assignment by clicking in the Available Until field. This date is not required. 

If you choose to assign a date in the Available Until field, assignments will be automatically moved to Closed and taken off the student’s agenda page after the date you’ve chosen. You will locate your closed assignments in the Inactive tab of your Assignments page. 

Student View

When a due date is assigned, students may view the assignment’s due date and availability by hovering over the tile. 

Once an assignment is no longer available, it will be moved to the student’s My Assignments page, where they may view Closed Assignments.
