Extensions and resubmissions guide

This guidance outlines how to grant extensions or a second attempt to students on Anonymous Assignments.

Due to the nature of anonymous marking, staff with Programme Administrator access to modules will need to set extensions and resubmissions as they can view student names.

1. Open the assignment.
2. Select View all submissions.
3. Select the boxes to the left of the students you are granting an extension to.
   • If you are granting different extension dates you will need to select students individually and set a different date for each student.
4. Scroll down the page and select Grant extension from the With selected... drop down list and then select Go.

   

5. Set the extension date.
6. Save changes.
7. Email the students to let them know their extension date. You can use the Quickmail block to do this.
