Hi everyone! We're looking for a solution to require students to acknowledge an academic integrity and AI-use statement before they can submit an assignment in Canvas. Ideally, the process would be: Students click Submit Assignment. Before they can complete the submission, they are presented with a statement that they must…
Canvas deploys contain code changes that are intended to fix bugs, improve performance, and prepare for new features. These deploys take place every two weeks and can be tested in the beta environment before the production deploy date indicated in the title of this document. New to deploy notes? Visit Understanding Release…
The title says it all - This seems like it should be a simple thing to fix. I've been careful not to overshoot the due dates when I'm updating any due date errors after transferring a course, so it hasn't been a big issue. However, this semester, Canvas added an extra week of vacation in the middle of my class, forcing…
I have a student enrolled in a course who has been able to access content with no problem. But yesterday she was suddenly unable to log in, and that has continued. She tried to change her password, but Canvas never sends her an email with a link to change it. She also has stopped receiving announcement emails. What's going…

One of the most valuable parts of building Canvas is learning directly from the people who use it every day. Earlier this year, we introduced the Canvas Collaborative Roadmap to create a more transparent, ongoing way for customers to share contributions, vote on roadmap cards, and help shape future investments. In just a…

To our Free-for-Teacher users, The Canvas Free-for-Teacher program is a product offering we have had since the beginning of our company. It is a program intended for individual educators at traditional schools and higher education organizations. We want to apologize for how disruptive the last few weeks have been due to…
As a longtime Free for Teacher user, I fully understand and support the need for decisive action following a security incident. I also work in higher education and recognize that protecting user data must be the top priority. That said, many educators are still waiting for clear communication regarding the status of our…
In May, we opened a short, secure window to log in to Free-for-Teacher and export your course content. We’re doing that one final time to give more of you access to the content you need. Another window to access your content. We're opening Free-for-Teacher again, in the same secure, limited way, from 12 am ET on July 28…

Question: What is the expected one-year return on MOL Rt shares with a current price of HUF2,810, a one-year dividend growth of 17%, and a dividend yield of 13% when the interest rate is 12%? Official solution (screenshot attached): r = Div₍t+1₎/PVₜ + g = 13% + 17% = 30% My confusion: the question just says "a dividend…
Now that the option to use the old version of grading has went away I am wondering if there is a way to either minimize rubrics or move the comments box to above the rubric? I do not use my rubrics unless I have to deduct points. But, I do make comments on almost every assignment. That is a LOT of scrolling when grading. I…
Is it possible to have viewing a page or satisfying the requirements of a module be part of the course pacing?
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
At Intelvio, we're not just delivering training; we're preparing career-focused learners with workforce-ready skills, and we make sure the platforms behind that training are ready to support them. So when we came across Canvas Career, we knew right away we wanted to try it, test it, and see how it could support our…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
I ran a course accessibility audit, and it kept flagging a color contrast issue that WCAG noted was AA and AAA compliant - #ffffff against #751a1a. Wondering if I was missing something like an <style> or <div> tag, I asked the IgniteAI Agent to verify and it came back with the following response. Sharing with my team, as…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
