Missing assignments

[MahmoudAl-Quzwi]

Some of my students missed the assignment due date and sent me their assignments by email. Is their any way I can upload these assignments to Canvas manually?

Hi @MahmoudAl-Quzwi 

Unfortunately, no. However, you can still post a grade for them. It is much easier to simply keep the assignment open after the due date, and Canvas will even mark their submissions as "Late", You can even create a grading policy in Canvas to deduct points based on their lateness. if that is your practice. All of my assignments have a due date, but none of them have a close date.

• How do I use posting policies in a course?

• How do I select a grade posting policy for a course in the Gradebook?

• How do I select a grade posting policy for an assignment in the Gradebook?

Fortunately, you can also edit the assignment to move the "Until" date further out so that your students can submit the assignment in the actual assignment. I never accept assignments submitted via email.

Good luck,
