Instructor: Manage Late Work, Due Dates and Reset Assignments: Kinesiology in Action

Accept Late Work

Late work, or any assignments submitted after your designated due date, will be marked in red in your Gradebook. When viewing an assignment, you may choose to allow a late submission from an individual student, or you may choose to accept late work from the entire class.

Reset an Assignment

In the Gradebook, you can reset an assignment by deleting a student’s grades and enabling them to begin again with a “clean slate.”

To reset an assignment for an individual student, select the Reset Assignment button next to that student’s name.
