How do I view Assignments in the Student app on my Android device?
The Canvas Student app helps you keep track of all course assignments. You can also view newly created assignments or changes to assignments in the Notifications tab.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
Notes:
- The Course Navigation menu matches the browser version of your Canvas course. If Assignments is not available in your Course Navigation, it will also be hidden from view in the app.
- If the assignment you are accessing displays differently, Assignment Enhancements may be enabled in your course. Currently, Assignment Enhancements is only partially supported by the app.
