Lock an assignment
You can control when students can access or submit an assignment by locking an assignment. Lock an assignment to restrict students from accessing it until the date you set. Or, you can lock submissions to prevent students from submitting assignments after a date you set (e.g. the day after the due date). Note : these steps do not work for discussion assignments.
Lock an assignment :
- In the course navigation, click Assignments , then click on the name of the assignment.
- Under Assign to , choose the section you wish to lock the assignment for. You can also leave it as Everyone .
- Under Available From , enter the earliest date students can access the assignment.
- Under Until , enter the latest date that students can access the assignment. Time of day is optional.
- Click Save or Save & Publish .

Assignments on Canvas Shouldn’t be Locked.
College is very much a balancing act—attempting to stay on top of assignments whilst also trying to have time for work, hobbies, and friends.
It is stressful enough without the added anxiety of a constricting timeline. While it is understandable that professors may not want students to barrel ahead blindly–it makes no sense to have these assignments unviewable.
Personally, as a perfectionist who likes following a routine, not being able to view assignments just clogs the gears.
Not being able to see the assignments before the upcoming week makes no sense. What is the worst that can come from students seeing the requirements?
Most would simply want to know what to expect for the coming week, or to perhaps get a head start.
With many assignments being due early in the week, getting access to the assignments on Monday mornings, just makes the work more rushed.
If an assignment is due early in the week, why not allow it to be viewable the week prior? That way, students can get a head start and turn in their best work rather than rushing through the work.
While professors may not want students to turn in the assignments extremely early–it doesn’t mean the students can’t at least view the assignment.
Submissions could be turned off to ensure that students aren’t just turning in work to get it done. This way, students can see the work needed in advance and get started while teachers have peace of mind knowing they can’t turn in the work just yet.
With many college students having a minimum of four courses, it is unrealistic to hide assignments until the week they’re due. This will only cause students to stress out and turn in half-baked work as they have more limited time.
Responsibilities also can creep up at any time, which adds more reason to not lock assignments. If a student knows they have limited time the week an assignment is due, they can go to the unlocked assignment and complete it early so their week is free for whatever task popped up.
While professors may think this will cause students to go ahead of their means, I don’t believe it to be that simple.
If a student were to see an assignment and not understand its meaning–then they can wait for the module to officially begin to be taught. They can keep to their normal routine while students who do understand can get a head start on their work.
Locking assignments only aims to hold students back as they are unable to see what is yet to come. Allowing them to at least view the assignments will help them to better grasp concepts, and get a head start before the due date arrives.

Yet, there is a difference between an assignment due date having passed and the assignment actually being locked. In many cases you can still submit after the due date ...
These tests are important for placement in the following years. As any teacher would know, it is important that we monitor them while they take the tests. There is evidence however, in the classes I teach, about how students complete locked assignments before they are unlocked. Is anyone having the same question/issues?

Hello @creynders .... Can you please double-check to see if you have any prerequisites or requirements set for that module that would be preventing students from accessing that assignment?

The online instructor's guide has great instructions on how to handle this situation here: How do I assign an assignment to an individual student? You can set a separate "display after" and due date just for one individual student this way, keeping the rest of the class on the original due date.
I know Canvas was the last app I had open on my phone, because I literally just locked the screen and put it in my pocket. Stupid of me, I know, but at the same time it was a genuine mistake. About it being actively downloaded, I don't know if the app refreshed or not when this happened, I literally had no idea what was going on so it's very ...
To put it simply, the "lock" icon means that Canvas won't give you the option to calculate your overall grade. If you'd like to do so, you'll need to use sources like Roger Hub to calculate grades, or you can do it manually but the former is more convenient to use. 43K subscribers in the UCDavis community.
