On the course home page, click the assignment you wish to set due dates for.

Go to the **Settings** tab within the assignment.

Select **Enable** next to the **Open Date**. This is the date and time the assignment will open to students. *The Open Date is optional - if left disabled, the assignment will be open for students to work on starting when they enroll in the course.*

Click the **calendar icon** to set the day and time.

Select **Enable** next to the **Close Date**. This is the first assignment **due date**.

Click the **calendar icon** to set the day and time.

Select **Enable** next to the **Cutoff Date**. This is the last assignment **due date**. If you wish to allow late work (a late penalty can be optionally deducted, if you scroll down on the Settings page), make sure that there is time between the close and cutoff dates (a minimum of 10 minutes is suggested, no upper limit). If you don't want to allow late work, set the cutoff date to match the close date.

Click the **calendar icon** to set the day and time.
