While there is not currently a way to give students multiple attempts within a single assignment, you can re-assign an assignment with a click!

To re-assign an assignment, follow these steps:

  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. You will be prompted to either Edit & Customize Assignment or Reassign your assignment.

After selecting Reassign:

  1. Select the class(es) or student(s) you would like to retake the assignment.

    1. To send the assignment to a particular student, click the downward arrow ⌄ 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 Create. 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 Assign 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.
