Set Assignment Default Due Time

[mwade]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

---

We are a K-12 school. One of the biggest negative feedback items we receive on Canvas has to do with assignments being due at midnight (11:59). Parents are concerned that we effectively asking them to stay up until midnight to turn in their homework. This is especially important for our middle school and junior high students.

We would like to be able to set assignment due time to default to a time that can be set in our school's account settings.

Yes, it is true that teachers can change the time, but we are relying on them doing the extra steps all the time to match our school's assignment policy - and it requires a lot of clicks to make this simple change.

So many changes that need to be made to make Canvas a easier to use..but this is a simple one to make.  Please incorporate this ASAP.

We need this immediately! How/why does it take Canvas so long to respond to educators' needs? I see this request going back to 2015.

We still need this. Where do I vote?

Putting in my vote!  We are trying to promote healthy sleep habits with our high schoolers (boarding school) and all deadlines are at 10pm or 11pm, which is the end of study hall or lights out.  It's cumbersome to have to change that time on every assignment, when it would be awesome if I (the Admin) could make this a default setting at the account level.

This would be a great idea. There are already so many things to check when making an assignment. It would be great to have a default due time that was not 11:59.

Here is a solution I came up with: Set Default Due Time(s) using a Script - Instructure Community

Yes please! This would be very helpful for middle schoolers especially!

I would love to have this feature.  Especially if I could set it up for not only each course, but each section of the course.

Yes, Please!
