NCSSM Keep track of your assignment due dates

List View

A good way to keep up with assignments and other things you should do is to use the Canvas Dashboard List View. This shows you a To-Do list of assignments in all of your courses, ordered by due date. You can also add your own To-Do items to your list and use it as a way to stay organized.

How to toggle on Dashboard List View in Canvas.

When your instructor creates an assignment and gives it a due date, Canvas will display that assignment:

In your calendar
In your to-do list
On the course syllabus page
In the assignments area
In the Recent Activity feed

Teachers will not always remind you when an assignment is due. They expect you to keep up with assignments in Canvas. If you do not turn in an assignment on time, it is automatically marked late in Canvas.

If your instructor changes a due date, Canvas will send you a notification. How you set your notification preferences will determine how quickly you see that notification.

It is up to YOU to keep track of assignments and their due dates. Viewing this video will help you understand how to do this within Canvas.
