When assigning an assessment make sure to give a reasonable cushion between the access date (when students can start) and the due date. This helps prepare for any unforeseen issues with the assignment that may require you to adjust the assignment’s due date/time (or make edits/changes) before it closes on your students. This article will give the steps on how to update those due dates. The edit can only be made PRIOR to the due date. Once the date has passed, this will no longer be able to be updated.
