You can either click "everyone" (which will never work), "individual students" (which when you have 90 students spread out in 3 classes would be rediculous", or the class you are working on. There should be an option like other learning programs that always include all of your classes so you can share tests, quizzes or assignments with all of the same classes.
Hello, Rhonda Arthur
Welcome to the Canvas Community! What you've described is possible to accomplish in Canvas. Whether you're able to do this or not depends on how your "other classes" are defined in Canvas. If each class resides in its own Canvas course, then it's not possible to assign across courses; each course is specific to the students enrolled in it, and only those students can access that course's content. However, if your school permits cross-listing of courses, you'll then have three courses within a single shell, and you can use the instructions in How do I assign an assignment to a course section? to differentiate the due dates between the sections.
Consider reaching out to your local Canvas admin to learn more about the cross-listing policies and procedures in place at your school.
Good luck!
