There may be many assignments in a course that have a set due date.  Occasionally, a need arises to extend a due date on an assignment for a particular student.

To change a due date for a particular student on an assignment in VSTAR Learn, you will want to follow these steps:

Step 1

Navigate to the assignment where you would like to change the due date for a student, then click on it.

 Step 2

By clicking on the assignment, you will see a grading summary.  If any students have already submitted the assignment, you will see that information here, and can see which assignments need grading.  To extend a deadline for one of your students, click the link that says View/grade all submissions.

Step 3

Locate the student that needs an extension, and under the “Edit” column, click on the arrow.  You will get a second menu that includes the option to grant an extension for your student.  Click that option.

Step 4

Click “Enable” to allow the extension due date information to be completed, then extend the assignment as appropriate for the student.

Step 5

When you save your changes, the screen will return to the detailed report that shows the status of assignment submissions.  The student that has received an extension will have a notation in the status column.
