Hello @CatherineOliver ...

I am assuming that you are a student?  If this is true, your instructor may have things configured in your Canvas course where the "Assignments" course navigation link on the left-hand side of your Canvas course is hidden from you and your classmates.  However, this *might* not be much of an issue if your instructor is using the "Modules" page.  Since I cannot see the contents of your course, hopefully your instructor has listed the assignments you are looking for on the "Modules" page.  Hopefully, your instructor has added those assignments to each of the modules in the course where they are most relevant (for example, by topic that you are covering).

If you are an instructor, however, you might see the "Assignments" index page on the left-hand course navigation menu with a crossed-out eye icon next to it.  This means that:

  • The "Assignments" link is hidden in your course navigation even though you have assignments listed on that page
  • possibly all assignments are unpublished in on this page.

If you are an instructor, and if you want to make the "Assignments" link visible to your students, you'll want to click on your course "Settings" link in the left-hand course navigation.  Then, select the "Navigation" tab.  Ensure that your "Assignments" button is listed in the top set of links vs. the bottom set of links.  You can read more about how this works at:

How do I manage Course Navigation links?

And, if you need to publish any of your assignments, here's a Guide on that as well:

How do I publish or unpublish an assignment as an instructor?

I hope I've covered the main scenarios here since I'm not quite sure of your role at your school.  Hopefully the information above will be of some help.

Sing out if you have any other questions about this.  Thanks!
