Due Date Settings allow you to set due dates modules, lessons, and assignments. Any student submissions of an assignment after its due date will be marked as late.
Access the Due Date Settings Page:
Navigate to the Configure Assignments app by clicking on Configure from the left hand side nav underneath the Assignments category
By Default you will be brought to the Access Controls + Due Dates tool
Ensure you are in the correct section or all sections of a course using the dropdown menus
Late Assignments
Assignments that are submitted late show up in the Gradebook with a little red triangle on the top right corner (as shown below).
Change the due date for a single assignment:
Navigate to the Assignments app
Click the ‘...' next to the assignment and select Due Dates
OR - Select the configure (gear) icon next to the assignment to access the settings
Clear a Due Date
To clear and remove a previously set due date, navigate to the Configure app, click the 'x' next to the due date:
Setting a Time for when Assignments are Due
By default, the time that assignments are due is 12am PT. Any outstanding assignments after this time will be marked late in the Gradebook.
You can change this deadline in the Configure Assignments app . Once a Due Time is set, assignments in that section will need to be turned in before this deadline or else be marked as late.
(Note: a section's timezone can be adjusted in the section's Settings tool of the Sections app)
Students Viewing Due Dates
Students can view the Due Dates that you’ve assigned them by selecting Due Dates from the left-hand sidebar. This page shows the Due Dates for their assigned Activities as well as a status icon.
Students can also view Due Dates from the Assignment tool in their editor. The notification will be red if the student's assignment is past due.
