Course Import: Remove or Offset Due Dates

Select shift dates

Set beginning and end dates

Beginning date field:

1. Enter the starting date of the course you are importing

2. Enter the new date when you want the course to begin

End date field:

 3. Enter the end date of the course you are importing

4. Enter the new date when you want the course to end

Canvas will take the new start and end dates for the course and distribute all assignments with due dates as evenly as possible across the course dates. If the imported course and the new course vary in course length, assignments will be assigned proportionally. Once the course is imported, you can easily confirm and adjust any assignment dates.

Note: 

• If the course where you are importing the content contains course override dates in Course Settings, those dates will be automatically pre-populated in the Change to fields.
• The course start and end dates will be automatically set to the dates set in the Change to fields when adjusting dates in a course import. However, if course start and end dates have already been set for the course, course start and end dates will not be changed.
