There may be circumstances where a student needs to be able to resubmit their assignment. Assuming the assignment is set to allow for only one submission, the instructor will have to go in and make changes to give the student the ability to resubmit. If the assignment settings are set to All submissions are kept, or Only the most recent submission is kept, the student will have unlimited resubmissions until the End Date.
Deleting the Previous Submission
If the assignment only allows for one submission and the instructor needs to give a student a chance to resubmit, they will have to delete the student’s previous submission to allow them to submit in the same assignment as everyone else.
Step 1: View Submissions
Submissions can be viewed for any particular assignment by clicking the drop-down arrow next to the assignment, and clicking View Submissions.
Step 2: Find the student’s submission
Instructors can either search for the student in the search bar, or find them in the list of submissions.
Step 3: Click the Delete button next to the submission
Next to every submission is a trashcan icon in the Delete column. By clicking this, the student’s submission can be deleted.
Please note: Once deleted, the previous submission cannot be recovered.
Upon deleting the submission, the student will once again be able to submit to the assignment.
