Change assignment 'Draft (not submitted)' status

An example of 'Draft (not submitted)' status

 

Overview:

This guide will show you how to transform assignments uploaded by students in 'Draft (not submitted)' status into 'Submitted for grading' status after the due date.

 

What to know:

If the teacher selects ‘Require students to manually finalize submission’ in the Assignment settings, and a student forgets to click the Submit button after uploading work, the status of the assignment will appear as ‘Draft (not submitted)’ after the due date. The teacher can change the assignment status to ‘Submitted for grading’ before the Cut-off date.

  • The ‘Draft (not submitted)’ status does not affect the grading function. The teacher can grade assignments as usual.
  • Resubmitted documents will be considered as late submissions.

 

 

Step 1: Verify the Cut-off date of the assignment

Verify the assignment’s Cut-off date to ensure it has not yet passed. If the Cut-off date has passed, the draft status of the assignment cannot be altered.

 

 

Step 2:  Contact learningmall@xjtlu.edu.cn to activate the ‘Submit for grading’ feature.

The ‘Submit for grading’ feature is not enabled by default.
