Note: If you intend to enable Grade Passback, you will need to assign each individual assignment to students. For example, you would expand the module and lesson and assign each activity individually: 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, and so on.

Due Dates and Scheduling Assignments

Use the Access Controls + Due Dates tool to set due dates for assignments or schedule when they will be posted to Google Classroom.

  1. Due dates: Assignments with a due date will carry that date into Google Classroom.

  2. Scheduled assignments: Assignments set to post at a specific time will automatically appear in Google Classroom at that time.
