How do I set or change the submission window for an assigned work?

Setting the Submission window

When you assign work to a class, you can use the Open Date and Due Date fields to set a submission window for your assignment. You can change the date and time for both fields.

Please note that if you do not set a specific time, assigned works will open and become visible to students at 12:00am on the open date and close at 11:59pm on the due date. These times are in the teacher's local time zone. 

Any assignment that is assigned before the open date will be hidden from students until 12:00am on the open date.

Setting Grace Periods

You can block or allow late submissions by setting the Late Submissions field to No late submissions, 1, 3, 7, 14, or 30 days. After the submission window and late submissions timeframe has passed, the assignment will display as closed, stopping the acceptance of student submissions.

By default, the grace period will be set to 3 days.

Changing the Submission Window

After you assign work to a class, you can always change the submission window. To do this, you will need to open the assignment from the Assigned Work page and click on the gear icon in the upper right corner to access the settings.

How do I turn on/off the ability for students to request a regrade?

Account Settings

You can always control the ability for students to request regrade for problems they get incorrect by changing your account settings. To do this, click on your profile picture and go to the My Account page. 

Turn on/off Notifications

Use the toggle next to the A student requested a regrade option to turn on or off the regrade requests. When the toggle is on (or purple) students can request regrades. You will be notified of each regrade request by email. You can always click on the toggle to turn the feature off so that students cannot request regrades.

Save Settings

Finally, click Save Email Settings to apply your changes.

How do I turn on/off the ability for students to complete assignments fully online?

Select Submission Option(s)

When you assign work to a class, you can check the box next to Allow students to complete online to allow students to complete assignments fully online. If you uncheck the box, students must complete the printed or PDF version of the assignment and upload their completed work.

You can always change these settings after students have submitted work if you would like.

How do I turn on/off the ability for students to see the correct answers?

Check/Uncheck Correct Answers

When you assign work to a class, you can check the box next to Show correct answers to allow students to see the correct answers to problems they get incorrect. If you uncheck the box, students will not have access to the solutions for problems they get incorrect.

You can always change these settings after students have submitted work if you would like to only allow students to see the correct answers after a certain amount of time.

How do I turn on/off the ability for students to retry problems?

Check/Uncheck Retries

When you assign work to a class, you can check the box next to Allow students to retry to allow students to retry problems they get incorrect. If you leave the box unchecked, students will not be able to try any problems again.

You can always change these settings after students have submitted work if you would like to allow retries for a limited amount of time.
