If many student scores suddenly appear as "late," it's likely due to scores being resynced to Canvas. Canvas uses the resync timestamp as the submission date. If the resync timestamp falls after the assignment's due date, it causes the "late" status to be applied.

Is there a way to undo the resync?
There is not a way to undo the sync to Canvas once grades have been synced over.
What do I do about assignments now affected by the late policy?
While Stukent cannot remove the grades already synced to Canvas, here are a few workarounds you might consider within Canvas to remove the late penalty:
a. Manually remove the late penalty for the student. Set the submission from "Late" to "None". This removes the "Late" label on the submission, as well as the late penalty.
b. Remove the Due Date. Removing the due date from the Canvas assignment (this can also be done in the Stukent Content Manager) will remove the "Late" label on the submission and the late penalties will not apply.
c. Remove the Gradebook Late Policy. This is a course-wide setting that will affect every assignment in Canvas. However, disabling this policy is a guaranteed workaround to bulk fix the unintended application of late penalties to resynced assignments.
- To do this, click the cog icon in the top right corner of the Canvas gradebook. You will find Late Policies that you can adjust/remove there.
