Set a quiz availability before or after the due date
Set availability dates to control when all students can access New Quizzes or Classic Quizzes.
Note: To change dates for specific students or sections, use quiz assignments. To update dates for multiple quizzes, use the Assignments Index page.
Quizzes autosubmit based on the Until (lock) date, time limit, or course conclude date:
No dates: autosubmits at course conclude.
Due date only: marked late at the due date; autosubmits at course conclude.
Due date + Until date: marked late at the due date; autosubmits at the Until date.
Time limit: autosubmits when time expires, even if the student leaves and returns later.
Time limit + Until date: autosubmits when time expires or when the Until date arrives, whichever comes first.
Student View
Students can see quiz details, but dates are not shown relative to the current time. Canvas displays deadline warnings inside the quiz:
Due date warnings appear 30, 5, and 1 minute before the quiz is marked late.
Autosubmit warnings appear 30, 5, 1 minute, and 10 seconds before submission.
Timed quizzes show a timer and warn students if the remaining availability window is shorter than the full time limit.

Review the quiz availability date settings:
To choose when the assignment becomes accessible to students, select the calendar icon under Available from. If you do not enter a time, the date defaults to 12:00 am in the course time zone.
To choose when students can no longer submit the assignment, select the calendar under Until. If the date does not include a time, it uses the course’s default time.
After the assignment is published, leaving the availability date fields empty lets students view the assignment for the full duration of the course.
Note: If your course uses section override dates, you may need to choose a course section and enter availability dates that fit within those section override dates.
