Due Dates
➡️ General Information
Any assessment submitted after the due date will be set to a late submission status in the gradebook.
Due dates determine the grading period the scores will appear under within the gradebook.
Due date impacts the order of standards performance history in the standards gradebook.
Due date also determines whether or not an assessment is included in the report cards being generated based on custom date range or grading period that was selected.
Due dates do NOT auto-submit assessments.
Due dates do NOT lock the assessment. Students are still able to take assessments when a due date has passed.
➡️ Setting a Due Date
Step 1: Select the assessment you'd like to assign from your drafts list.
Step 2: Click the ellipsis to the right of the desired assessment and choose Assign.
Step 3: Choose the classes or students that will be taking the assessment.
Step 4: Select the calendar to choose the time and date the assessment is due. Be sure to select Apply to set the due date.
Step 5: Select Assign to make the assessment available to your students.
➡️ What Do Students See?
Students see the due date and time in the assessment list beside the assessment's title and category.
➡️ Deleting a Due Date
Step 1: Select the assessment you'd like to assign from your drafts list.
Step 2: Click the ellipsis to the right of the desired assessment and choose Settings.
Step 3: Click the X beside the due date and Save your updates.
Assign at a Later Date
Teachers also have the option to schedule when assessments will be available for students in their assessment list.
➡️ General Information
Students do not see a timestamp for a start date. They will see the assessment appear on their assessment list.
A notification will be sent to the student's notification feed on the start date (the notification will not send when you initially assigned the assessment; it will wait for the start date).
Students will not be able to see the assessment in their assessment list until the start date.
➡️ Setting a Start Date
Step 1: Toggle on Assign at a Later Date.
Step 2: Choose your desired start date and time and select Apply. The assessment will then appear in the assessment list for students at that time.
❗ For Advanced Assessments Only:
If you make any changes to the assessment between the time you assign the assessment and the start date, you will need to unassign the assessment and reassign the newest version. Otherwise, the changes you make will not reflect on the previously assigned version that students will complete.
