Due Date Overview

Due dates are necessary for defining deadlines and ensuring that the automatic zeroes feature functions as intended. Once you have defined a graded activity’s due date, a link to said item will automatically populate in the calendar area. You may edit multiple due dates at once through the batch edit menu.

Additionally, you may configure your activities to prohibit submissions or participation after the set due date. While students may still view the graded item, they cannot interact with it.
