Access Controls and Due Dates settings allow the teacher to control when an Assignment becomes available, scheduled, or locked for students and when an Assignment is due. ​

Navigating to the Access Controls and Due Dates Tool

You can find Access Controls and Due Dates settings by clicking Configure from the left-hand navigation menu.

Available Settings on this Page

  • Due Date Settings allow you to set due dates on assignments, lessons, and modules. Any student submissions of an item after its due date will be marked as late in the Gradebook.

  • Access Controls lets you lock modules, lessons, or assignments. Everything in a course defaults to being available. Students will see locked assignments on their assignments page, but will not be able to access them.

  • Is Assigned controls which curriculum is assigned to the section. Unassigned content will not be visible to students, will show as NA in the Gradebook, and won't be factored into student grades.

You can use the Section drop-down arrow to switch between settings for different sections.

Scheduling Assignments

Each scheduled assignment will have times auto-populate.

  • End time on scheduled assignments will auto-populate to 24 hours later.

  • End time on assignments with a due date set will auto-populate to the set due date.

You can change the values of any start or end time by clicking into the field and using the Calendar to adjust the settings.

  • Starting and ending times can be deleted by highlighting the value, clicking delete, and done in the calendar window.

  • Starting and ending times can also be copied and pasted from one cell to another.
