How do I make a quiz available before or after the due date? | Canvas
Overview
You can make a quiz available to all your students before or after the due date by setting availability dates. You can use availability dates for both New Quizzes and Classic Quizzes.
Please be advised:
- Quizzes have an autosubmit feature tied to the Until (lock) date, which may affect student submissions. Only quiz attempts that have been started are auto-submitted. Common quiz scenarios and date results include the following:
- No dates: quiz is never marked late and autosubmitted at course conclude (see course settings)
- Due date only: quiz is marked late at Due date and autosubmitted at course conclude (see course settings)
- Due date with Until date: quiz is marked late at Due date and autosubmitted at Until date
- Time limit: quiz is autosubmitted when time expires. The time limit will still expire if a student navigates away from the quiz. The quiz will autosubmit when the student navigates to the quiz page again.
- Time limit with Until date: quiz is autosubmitted when time expires unless the Until date expires first.
- In Course Navigation, click the Quizzes link.
- To add a new quiz, click the Add Quiz button.
