To re-assign an assignment from the assignment page:

  1. Navigate to your class dashboard and click into the Assignments sub-tab.

  2. Find the assignment you would like to re-assign and click Actions.

  3. Click Reassign.

  4. When prompted, select Continue to Reassign.

Next, you will be prompted to either Edit Assignment Settings or Continue to Reassign your assignment.

  • Edit Assignment Settings: Select this if you would like to customize settings for the existing assignment, such as extending a timer or a due date for specific students. Head to this help center article to learn more about customizing assignment settings.

  • Continue to Reassign: Select this if you would like to duplicate the assignment to give your students another chance, or if you would like to make edits to the assignment's questions.

After selecting Continue to Reassign:

    1. To send the assignment to a particular student, click the downward arrow βŒ„ on the left side of the class title to reveal a list of all the students in your class.

2. Customize your assignment settings. Note: The assignment title will default to "Original Title (Reassigned)".

3. Optional: To edit the questions within the assignment, click Add Questions. This will bring you to the Assignment Builder, where you can add more questions or remove questions from your assignment. When you've made any adjustments, click Recipient Settings to return to the settings.

4. Click Assign.

[Pro-tip]: You can use the reassign button to quickly assign the same material to different class sections.

Note: Even if an assignment has been re-assigned, students will still have access to the original assignment. If you would like to provide students with an additional attempt without them referencing the original assignment, you will need to change the assignment settings of the original assignment. We recommend creating a due date far out in the future and selecting to Show correct answers and explanations after the due date has passed.
