The Lateness settings for a category determine how the assignments in a category will be graded upon late submission by a student enrolled in your course. To adjust a course category’s Lateness settings, you must first select Edit Course from the course Dashboard.
From the Gradebook section in Edit Course:
- Click on the Edit menu for the category (“Edit” in column header) and select Edit Category.
2. Click the “Lateness” tab to view and adjust settings.
3. To allow students to submit late work and automatically receive partial credit, select “Students can submit overdue assignments for credit.”
Note: By default, students cannot submit assignments late or receive any credit; their grade would be 0%.
4. You must select a penalty to apply:
- “No penalty”
- “% per day” – enter a whole number for the % per day late
- “% (flat)” – enter a whole number for the % (flat).
Note: Penalty deduction rates must be a whole number between 0–100.
5. Click “done” to apply setting changes.
