Extra Day To Submit Without Penalty

[taylor_may]

Is there any way to add accommodations for students who have extended time to turn in assignments so they aren't counted late? 

I know you can add them on a separate line for their due date. I just wasn't sure if there was an easier way to create that as a default for specific students.

Thanks!

Hi Taylor,

Yes there certainly is.  When you are in the assignment settings you'll note the due date box at the bottom.  There's an Add Due Date button below it, you enter the student or students names into there that needed the extra time and set the deadline differently to the one set for everyone.  The only people who will know are you and the student.  It's a really handy feature!

I'm on my phone at the moment so can't attach a picture to show you, but this video covers it towards the end   

Hope that's helpful for you

Ya I know that way but when there are 20 kids in different periods that have accommodations that are all different I was looking for an easier way. Just like you can preset late grade penalties if there was a way from a students profile setting to allow every assignment as an extra day rather than having to manually input it for every assignment. I have searched and searched I am guessing this doesn't exist but thank you for the reply.

Hmm have you tried duplicating the assignment to see if that carries the due dates over?

That still would require me to do that for every single assignment and change the due dates. I was hoping it was in the student profile or something like that to where it was a one time application and would apply to every assignment assigned for that class. Does that make sense?

It certainly does, it's not a setting I have seen unfortunately. It sounds like a great thing to suggest to canvas though in the https://community.canvaslms.com/community/ideas section, it'd definitely save time, and there will be students who always get extra time.

Good idea. I will do that. 

Thanks!
