Can I do it?

Yes! The Edit Assignment Dates feature allows you to view and edit all course assignment due dates from one page! This feature helps simplify updating your course due dates for a new quarter or for when unforeseen circumstances require you to adjust course timelines.

This tip aligns with section 3 of the BTC Course Design Tool. Specifically, this feature allows you to provide “accurate due dates” throughout your course.

How do I do it?

Access the Bulk Editing Feature

Select Assignments from the course navigation menu.
Click the Assignment Settings button (3 stacked dots).
Select Edit Assignment Dates from the drop-down menu.
View a list of all course assignments and due dates on one page!
- To edit individual assignment dates: Enter (or modify) the date in the Due at field and, if applicable, the Available From and Available Until fields.

  2. Click the Batch Edit button.
