- Setting course site access for individual students
Instructors can adjust student access to their course site after a class ends, making it read-only or hiding it from students altogether (see End of the Semester options for Instructors ). However, if one or two students need continued full access to the course site, you can give them access while keeping the site closed to the rest of the class.
To give selected students full access to a course while closing it for everyone else, create a section with a later end date. Enroll any students who need continued full access into this new section.
Go to the Course Settings.
Click on the Sections tab.
In the box labeled "Add a New Section:", fill in a section name and click the +Section button.
Your new section will appear in the list of Course Sections.
Click on the name of your new section.
Click on the "edit section" button..
Set an end date for the new section.
This date should be after the overall course end date. You can edit this date at any time.
Check the box next to "Users can only participate in the course between these dates."
Click the Update Section button.
Enroll the students who need full course site access in the section you created..
Go to the People tool to enroll students in your new section. See the Canvas guides: How do I edit sections for enrollment in a course?
Note: If the overall end date for your course has already passed, you may not be able to add students to the new section you created. Go to your course Settings and temporarily remove the course end date (see End of the Semester options for Instructors ). After you have successfully enrolled students in your new section, you can fill in the course end date again.

Create an assignment
Use Assignments to create, collect, and give feedback on assignments in a learning management system (LMS).
Before you begin
To use Assignments, you need an LMS and a Google Workspace for Education account. The account usually looks like [email protected] . If Assignments isn't installed in your LMS, ask your administrator to go to Get started with Assignments .
Create an assignment in Canvas

How to Create Assignments
Using assignments in Canvas provides a streamlined process for assigning homework and creating quizzes for students. Canvas considers an ‘assignment’ to be anything that is graded, whether that be a quiz or homework assignment, and whether it’s delivered entirely online, paper-and-pencil, or is a participatory assignment with no actual deliverable.
This Quick Start guide will cover the creation of assignments where the student submits a file electronically, on paper, using an external tool such as Turnitin or Panopto , or where no submission is expected (e.g. class participation). See How to Create Tests and Quizzes for Your Canvas Course and Create and Manage Discussions for more information about using those tools as assignments.
1. In the Course Navigation menu, click the Assignments link.
2. Click “ +Assignment ” at the top right.
3. Write the assignment title and directions for students.
4. Assign the number of points available for the assignment.
5. Choose an “ Assignment Group” . Assignment groups are, in essence, a category of assignment. For more information about using Assignment Groups, see the Canvas guides regarding Assignments.
6. There are four submission types :
- No Submission: an activity where nothing will be collected from students (e.g. a participation grade)
- For the full details about the online assignment subtypes, (text entry, annotation, file upload, etc.), please see the official documentation .
- We have a recorded mini-webinar on annotation assignments, including assignment ideas, available on the Training Webinars page.
- On Paper: assignments/quizzes/activities that were written on paper and collected by the instructor
- External Tool: assignments submitted through a 3rd party tool that is integrated with Canvas, such as a textbook publisher’s website or Turnitin
7. Submission Attempts: You may allow unlimited submission attempts for Online assignments, or restrict attempts to one or more. When a student submits to an assignment they have already submitted to, the previous submission is retained as well, and the instructor may view both.
8. Group Assignments and Peer Reviews: Assignments can be created as either a group assignment or peer review assignment.
9. Assign options- You can assign an assignment to your entire class, a specific student, and/or a section of your class. You can also set the due date and the availability dates (when your students can submit their assignment). Each section can have different due dates and availability dates.
10. If you are finished creating the assignment, click on “ Save & Publish “. If you are not finished creating the assignment, click on “ Save ” and you may come back and work on it more later without students having access to it.

About assignments in Canvas
Watch a video overview of Canvas assignments
Why do I have to re-create my assignments in Canvas?
If you already have assignments created in Word or Google docs, Catalyst tools, or posted online, you might wonder, “What’s the point is of recreating them in Canvas?” Not only does Canvas make it easy to create assignments with lots of options (selective release, group assignments, peer review, submission type) it also adds convenience for you and your students.
What are Assignment Groups?
Like Catalyst Gradebook, Canvas prefers for you to create assignment groups for organization. The groups you create control how the gradebook is structured and you can choose to weight final grades based on those groups. By default you begin with a group called Assignments. You can choose to keep all of your assignments in this one group, or create as many new ones as you like.
Where do I create assignments?
You can create assignments in the Assignments area of Canvas or in the Calendar. Your Assignments page will show the work you have assigned. In student view, the Assignments page will show all assigned work and the point value of each (if you set point values when setting up an assignment). Any graded activity (such as a discussion, quiz, essay or project) can be an assignment.
When you create an assignment in your Canvas course it is automatically added to the assignment list on the Syllabus page, the course calendar, and your gradebook. If you change the due date for an assignment, Canvas updates it course-wide. If you alter the assignment you can have Canvas notify your students.
What can I do with assignments?
Assignments can be used to:
- Set up online submissions that can be quickly graded in the SpeedGrader™
- Grade online submissions work submitted on paper
- Set up peer review
- Grade Discussions, either among the whole class or student groups
- Open Quizzes for a limited amount of time
- Create ungraded activities that align with course outcomes
Assignments and Grading
Having your assignments in Canvas and automatically linked to the gradebook means you can take advantage of SpeedGrader and rubrics to make the grading process faster and more efficient. Canvas communication tools allow you to provide your students with text or multimedia feedback on all assignments.

Adding an Assignment
Canvas Assignment can be used to collect a submission from students electronically, provide instructions for and remind students about an in-class activity, and track extra credit.
How do I create an assignment?
How do I add assignment types, pages, and files as module items?
Editing Assignment Details
After creating an assignment, modify the assignment details and settings by clicking the action menu and select Edit. Update the assignment instructions and guidelines, set the due date, and number of points to earn.
How do I add or edit details in an assignment?
Removing or Duplicating Assignments
Clean up unused assignments by removing them from Modules, or by deleting them from the Assignments page of your course.
How do I delete an assignment?
Establish a routine pattern of assignments and activities for students. When assigning an assignment that students will complete each week, create the assignment once, then duplicate it and move it to subsequent weeks.
How do I duplicate an assignment?
Allowing a Resubmission
By default, resubmissions are always allowed if the instructor leaves the Attempts setting at "Unlimited". After students submit their assignment, they may revisit the assignment to submit a new version. As the instructor, you can view the various versions of the submission, deciding which version to accept and grade. Prevent students from revisiting the assignment by limiting the number of attempts in the assignment settings or set an Until availability date.
Can a student resubmit an assignment?
Creating Group Assignments
To create an assignment that the students will submit as part of a group, check the box for "This is a Group Assignment" in the Group Assignment area.

Create an assignment in canvas.
In Canvas, any activity with an associated point value is considered an Assignment and will appear on the Assignments page, as well as in the gradebook. Assignment formats include quizzes, discussions, online document submission, and no submission, and external tool assignments. You can give an assignment to everyone in the course or target it to a specific section or user.
Types of Graded Activities in Canvas
The following table lists the types of graded activities in Canvas and their strengths and weaknesses.

- Canvas Assignment Tool: Overview
Updated on Mar 22, 2022
The Canvas Assignments tool is one of several native Canvas tools that allows instructors to collect student work for grading. Through the Canvas Assignment tool, students can submit their completed work and instructors can easily collect and score the work either offline (by downloading all submissions with a single button click) or online through the Canvas SpeedGrader function. Canvas Assignments can also be used to create columns in the gradebook for grading student work that is not submitted online.
Several of the External Applications integrated into Canvas work in coordination with the Canvas Assignments tool. For these tools, you will still create the Canvas Assignment as normal, but you will need to follow the detailed instructions for the specific external application to properly link it to the Canvas Assignment. Visit our Instructional Tools support page and click on the appropriate tool for details.

Why use Canvas Assignments?
Use cases for assignments, how do i use canvas assignments in my course, what will my students see, additional resources, for students.
Canvas Assignments are a great centralized location to find and submit their coursework. It can provide students with detailed instructions for each assignment, due dates, template files for students to use when applicable, and rubrics to help students understand what is expected to achieve full credit for their work. Canvas' online grading via the SpeedGrader tool is a core feature of the Canvas Assignment tool, which allows students to quickly receive and reply to instructor comments on their work. Canvas Assignments also work hand-in-hand with the Canvas Grades area, so students can quickly see how well they did on each assignment and how they are doing overall in the course in one place.
For Instructors
Canvas Assignments streamlines the way that student work is collected. Instead of receiving digitally completed homework in the form of individual emails from each student for each assignment, instructors can create a Canvas Assignment to collect the work of all students. With Canvas' online grading tools, instructors can use rubrics for consistent grading and can use the Canvas SpeedGrader tool to provide detailed annotations on student-submitted files or simply use the one button download all submissions button to export all student files at once to their local computer. The Canvas Assignments tool also allows instructors the flexibility to assign activities to specific due dates for individual students or even create activities that are only available to certain students.
Canvas Assignments can be used in many ways—below are just a few examples of how assignments can be used in your course:
- Homework Assignments
- Research Papers
- Written Exams
- Handwritten Student Work (check out our help article for students on how to create a PDF of handwritten work )
- Overall grade for course (that differs from the Canvas-calculated Totals column)
- Grade for an oral exam or other activity that does not require students to hand in work
- Class participation grade
- Peer Review Assignments – students can be assigned to read and comment on one or more of their classmates' submissions
- Group Assignments – require one submission for a group of students
Instructor and TA level users can always access the tool to create and organize activities, but the tool can be hidden from students if desired. To learn more about how to use Canvas Assignments to facilitate your online course work, please reference:

- How do I automatically assign peer reviews for an assignment?
- How do I view student peer review comments as an instructor?
- How do I assign an assignment to a course group?
- Turnitin Assignment Settings Options
- Viewing a Turnitin Report (Instructor)
The actual view your students see will depend on the settings you set on your assignments. Below you can see what a student would see for an online, file upload submission type assignment.
On each assignment, instructors can set an " Available From " date, which is the date when the assignment will open for students to start submitting their work. Even though an assignment may not yet be open, students will be able to see that there is an assignment and will be able to click on it.
When a student views an assignment that has not opened for submissions yet, they will see a message showing that the assignment is locked and the date when the assignment will open, which is the " Available From " date.
When going to submit a file, the students will see the assignment instructions, points, due / available from / until dates, and the rubric (if one exists). The students will submit by clicking the " Submit Assignment " button and following the process to upload and submit their file(s).

- In Memoriam: Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, C.M. ’90HON, 16th President of St. John’s University
St. John’s University mourns the passing of Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, C.M., its 16th President, on Sunday, June 23, 2024.
“I am Joseph, your brother.” With those humble words spoken on August 1, 2013, Fr. Levesque introduced himself to the University community that he would lead for one important year after the retirement of the long-serving Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M.
“I simply ask you to please pray for me,” Fr. Levesque stressed. “This is a new venture, to come to such a large and wonderful University. It’s a time of transition. Please pray for me so that I can be successful in my new position with all of you here at St. John’s.”
On July 10, 2013, the St. John’s University Board of Trustees elected Fr. Levesque to serve as President of the University while it conducted a national search. Shortly after that search was completed in Spring 2014, Fr. Levesque returned to Niagara University to resume his role as President Emeritus.
“He was a true servant of the Church as priest, Provincial, Chair of two University Boards, President of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men , and President of two Catholic, Vincentian universities,” stated Rev. Michael J. Carroll, C.M. ’09HON, who in 2013 was Vice Chairman of the St. John’s Board of Trustees and Provincial of the Eastern Province of the Congregation of the Mission .
A native of North Tarrytown, NY, Fr. Levesque was ordained a Vincentian priest on May 27, 1967, at Mary Immaculate Seminary in Northampton, PA. He taught religious studies at St. John’s Preparatory School in Brooklyn, NY, and at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Princeton, NJ, before being assigned to Niagara’s religious studies department in 1970. Fr. Levesque left his teaching duties at Niagara University to pursue his studies in theology at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, where he earned his doctoral degree.
In 1978, Fr. Levesque resumed teaching at Niagara University and was named Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Director of the college’s graduate division. He remained in the post until 1986, when he returned to seminary work, serving as president of St. Joseph’s Seminary.
Fr. Levesque was later elected Provincial Superior of the Eastern Province of the Congregation of the Mission in 1990. He stepped down from the position in June of 1999 after the maximum nine-year term, and, in 2000 he was named the 25th president of Niagara University.
He served as Niagara University’s president for 13 years (2000–13), making him the fourth longest-tenured president in the history of the Catholic and Vincentian institution. Under Fr. Levesque’s leadership, Niagara University experienced a continuous process of transformation that significantly developed the physical character of the university’s campus and its 21st-century approach to teaching and learning.
In June of 2013, Niagara University’s Institute for Civic Engagement was renamed the Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, C.M., Institute for Civic Engagement to honor the long-tenured president and his commitment to the community.
“Fr. Levesque was one of the most influential leaders in our province’s history,” observed Rev. Aidan R. Rooney, C.M., M.Div., M.Th. ’78NDC , Executive Vice President for Mission. “His leadership focused our province’s commitment to the economically poor more deeply than ever before. His personal and professional commitment to Vincentian higher education is part of the story of both St. John’s University and Niagara University. Our continuing Catholic and Vincentian identity owes much to the choices he made in seeing to the preparation and assignment of key Vincentians to both universities.”
Rev. Bernard M. Tracey, C.M. ’70C, Vincentian Superior, Niagara University, a longtime friend of Fr. Levesque, shared: “In addition to all that Fr. Levesque accomplished, his deep love for family and friends was of utmost importance to him. He was always there in times of need and celebratory times, whether big or small. He will be missed.”
Fr. Levesque had a lifelong passion for the arts and music. A little-known fact about him was that, in 1969, he was one of the more than 400,000 people who made the trip to the hayfields near Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, NY, for what would become known as Woodstock.
He had just completed his first postordination assignment at St. John’s Preparatory School in Brooklyn when he received a last-minute invitation from a friend to attend “some concert in upstate New York.” “We had no idea of just how big of an event it was at the time,” he recalled years later. “We got off at the exit of the New York State Thruway and traffic slowed to a crawl, so we knew that this was more than just a concert.”
“He was kind—and always was,” recounted Brian Browne ’93C, ’97G , Associate Vice President of University Communications and Public Affairs. “I had the unique experience of having Fr. Levesque as a high school religion teacher and years later worked with him at St. John’s. He impacted so many people during a lifetime of service.”
Rev. Patrick S. L. Flanagan, C.M., Ph.D., Vice Chair, Board of Governors, and Chair and Associate Professor, Department of Theology and Religious Studies, recalled: “As a first-year student at Niagara University in 1983, Fr. Levesque hired me to be his student aide. I could never have imagined the incredible trajectory of life and love shared with my confrere over the subsequent decades. As my mentor and friend, I witnessed a true servant-leader whose priorities were never self-referential, but to serve others, particularly the more abandoned, and to strive for a just, common good.”
During his tenure at St. John’s, Fr. Levesque sat for a reflective interview for a publication of the Rho Chi Beta Delta honor society in the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and expressed his thoughts on the importance of upholding the University’s Vincentian values in changing times:
“At the heart of being a Vincentian University is learning how important it is to serve others. Hopefully you will come out of St. John’s University and have a great career; hopefully you’ll have all your dreams fulfilled. Whatever those dreams are and whatever that goal is, we are helping you to accomplish them. I think people remember that St. John’s University is part of their roots, and they want to bring a part of the St. John’s Vincentian mission into their lives. I see a very strong spirit here of what it means to be Vincentian, and the St. John’s community knows that it encompasses being sensitive to others who don’t have what they have.”
As his one-year term was winding down, Fr. Levesque remarked at a June 2014 liturgy he celebrated: “I came to you last August as Joseph, your brother. Thank you for welcoming me as a brother and a colleague working with you for the good of the University.”
He added, “Thank you for being so faithfully Catholic and Vincentian, and dedicated to our ministry. Thank you for your respect, your love, and compassion. Thank you for your simplicity, your humility, your kindness, and your charity—all Vincentian values.”
Send expressions of sympathy to
St. John’s University Office of the President Newman Hall, Third Floor 8000 Utopia Parkway Queens, NY 11439
Funeral arrangements will be announced soon.
