I want to change the end date for my course so it will appropriately plan out my assignments in accordance with the schedule I want. How do I change the end date for my courses as a student?
Solved! Go to Solution.
The short answer is that you, as a student, cannot change the Course End Date or the due dates of Assignments.
The Course End Date will most likely be set by your school. The Assignment due dates will be set by your professor. Taking a course on Canvas has the same basic parameters as taking a face-to-face class.
It's really great that you are thinking ahead about your course workload. Your responsibility as a student is to figure out how you can meet the course requirements set by your instructor and your school.
Good luck!

You can change the end date (for independent study). I did it when I started my course, but now I can't find that setting. I didn't want to take a whole year for a semester class and moved it to 3 months. Yet for the life of me I cant find it again!!!
