How to extend the deadline for submitting an assignment

If you have created a classroom assignment and for some reason need to grant an extension to one or more people, you can do so.

Options:

  • Option 1. Extend the deadline for all the students in the classroom
  • Option 2. Extend the deadline for one student
  • Option 3. Extend the deadline for a group of students

 

 

Option 1. Extend the deadline for all the students in the classroom

In this case you just need to access the assignment and modify the Due date (or the Cut-off date) in the Settings tab (once here go to Availability).
