Max Number of Assignments

[AliciaMorris]

Is there a limit or a maximum number of assignments that can be assigned to a course?

There isn't a maximum number of pages or assignments for a course.  The main cap you'll want to be aware of is the size of the course, which will be determined by your institution (and its agreement with Instructure).  For example, our courses are capped around 5GB, which far exceeds what most courses will need unless they heavily rely on multimedia to be uploaded directly into the course.

You can find you file cap by going into your Course Settings  >>  Course Details  >>  File Storage.

ok....where do I find the course settings to do the path you provided to fix the exceeded storage? Is this in Canvas? Or MCC page? I'm lost.

Hi @DanielleBrodzik ...

The directions from @DrNufer are correct.  In your course, go to the "Settings" course navigation menu on the left side of your screen.  By default, you will be on the "Course Details" tab once on the "Settings" screen.  Then, scroll down the screen just over half-way, and below the options for "Default due time" and "Language", there is an option for "File Storage".  In the light blue box of this Guide, How do I set details for a course? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com), it says, "...may allow you to manage...".  The keyword here is "may".  You may or may not be able to edit the number here.  If not, you'd need to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator about this.

I hope this will be of some help to you.  Sing out if you have any other questions...thanks.
