  1. Select All Content
  2. Options
    • You may choose "Import existing quizzes as New Quizzes". This is a good idea because Classic Quizzes will be removed from Canvas in 2024. 
    • You may choose to "Adjust events and due dates".  If you do not check this option, your new course will have all the due dates from the previous year and you will have to manually go in and change them.
  3. If you did not check "Adjust events and due dates", then you will not see the section marked C.
    • If you did choose to adjust the dates, then you can choose to shift the dates or remove them all together by choosing "Remove dates".
  4. Click Import
