Allowing students to re-submit an assignment is useful when they accidentally submit an assignment before completing it or when you want to provide them with another opportunity to demonstrate mastery.

To learn how to reset the submission status of an assignment for a particular student in your class, follow the steps below:

Note: This method is only possible if the student has not answered all the questions and the assignment time limit has not expired. This feature is also only accessible in the legacy reports view.

  1. Click on the Classes tab.

  2. Select Assignments and click on the specific assignment.

  3. Access the old version of this report by using the "Click here" link under the assignment title.

    1. You will be redirected to the old report view from here.

  4. Find the student's name, toggle over to Submission Status, select Submitted, and then select Reset status. 

  5. The student can complete the remaining questions and resubmit the assignment.

If the timer has elapsed or your student answered all questions, you can reassign the assignment to them instead. Learn how to reassign here.

Note: This feature will be available within new reports in the future.
