Information to note:

Create Stage: This setting only applies to future activities and/or a creation stage that has not passed the deadline in an active activity.
Evaluate Stage: This setting only applies to future activities and/or a evaluation stage that has not passed the deadline in an active activity.
Late submissions settings only apply to the creation and evaluate stage for activities. If you have a student who needs to submit a late feedback, please have them contact our Live Chat after receiving approval from you.

How to set up late submissions:

Navigate to your course homepage by selecting your ‘Course Info’
Select ‘Edit Details’ at the top right of your screen.
Scroll down to the Late Submissions section.
Select ‘Expand’ to the right to view more details.
Select the Late Submission option you would like, as outlined below.

No Late Submissions - Students will not be able to submit Creations and Evaluations beyond the assigned due date.

Allow Late Submissions - Students are able to independently submit Creations and Evaluations beyond the assigned due date.

You must select whether they are auto-accepted or need to be approved by you.
- Read below for more information
All submissions will be date-stamped and marked as late once approved.
Late Creation Submissions made during the Evaluation stage may be auto-assigned to eligible Evaluators, or graded manually by you.
Creations received past the Evaluation stage must be graded manually by you, as there are no eligible Evaluators.

NOTE: An eligible evaluator is any student that has not begun their evaluations yet.

Needs Approval - Students’ late submissions will only be accepted if you choose to accept them.

You will receive an email notification prompting you that there are late submissions needing to be approved or rejected.

Auto-accept Late Submissions - Students' late submissions will be automatically accepted without the need for your approval.

All submissions will be date-stamped and marked as late.
Eligible Evaluators will be automatically assigned if the Creation was submitted during the Evaluate stage. This means that some students may receive more evaluations to complete than what you assigned.
You can always reject a late submission at any time even after it's been accepted.

Note: We don't recommend using this setting as it can cause confusion if, for example, a student submits a creation 5 minutes before the Evaluate deadline, none of the evaluators will have a chance to evaluate it in time.
