How to change multiple due dates for 1 student?

I have a student who had medical issues, so he has an incomplete.

I need to dhange the due dates for him on 20 to 30 assignments.

Can I do it on all at once, or do I have to change each assignment separately?

Hi @careysmith 

Unfortunately, to change assignment dates for one student, you need to individually assign the assignment to that student (see https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-an-assignment-to-an-individual-s... ), so you will have to go into each assignment individually.

Hi @careysmith,

I might suggest that you go into Edit Assignments and then change the "Date Available Until" dates. You can do all 20-30 assignments at once. This will quickly open up the assignments. Note that anyone missing an assignment could still make a submission, but the entire class and the student whom you are trying to help will still see the original "Due Date." Just let him or her know that the missing assignments are open. Then close them up after he or she has done the work.

While another student might take advantage of the opportunity, changing the "Date Available Until" dates at one go would probably save you a lot of time. I've done this before with no issue.
