Learn how to change the due date of an assignment.

Written by Luke Liu

You can change an assignment's due date whenever you need to. You'll do this from the Home tab, where your classes and assignments live. You can find the assignment two ways: by opening your full Assignments list or by opening one specific class.

Open the assignment from your full Assignments list

  1. At the top of the page, click the Home tab.

  2. On the left, select Assignments. This shows the assignments for all of your classes at once.

  3. Find the assignment whose due date you want to change.

  4. On the far right of that assignment's row, click the icon (More options).

  5. Then click Edit Recipient Settings.

Open the assignment from one class

  1. At the top of the page, click the Home tab.

  2. On the left, select the box that says All Classes.

  3. A list of your classes appears. Click the name of the class you want.

  4. The page now shows that class's assignments. Find the assignment whose due date you want to change.

  5. On the far right of that assignment's row, click the icon (More options).

  6. Then click Edit Recipient Settings

Changing the Due Date of an Assignment

To change the due date, select the due date dropdown from the Default Recipient Settings panel on the right.

  1. Any changes you make to the default setting will apply to all classes and students that do not have custom settings.

    1. Click the Customize button next to the class.

    2. Modify the due date. All students in this class will receive the new due date.

    3. Click the Done button next to the class name.

  2. If you wish to modify the due date for a single student:

    1. Click on the arrow next to the student’s class.

    2. Click the Customize button next to their name.

    3. Modify their due date. The student will receive this due date instead of the class or default due date.

    4. Click the Done button next to the student’s name.

  3. Click Save Changes to finalize your updates.
