Setting Assignment Due Dates in Moodle
Since the due date for each problem sheet may vary between classes, you can override the due date for your class:
Go to the Courses site and make sure you are logged in - click "Log in with SSO" in the top right corner if not.
Navigate to the relevant course - either using the "Courses" list on the homepage, the "Search courses" search box, or the "My courses" page in the top menu. If you use the search box, make sure you select the course for the current academic year.
Click the assignment you want to edit.
Click the "More" dropdown at the top of the page, then "Overrides" - or just click "Overrides" in the right sidebar.
Change the "User overrides" dropdown to "Group overrides" and wait for the page to reload.
Click "Add group override".
Select the correct class from the dropdown list, and adjust the dates as required. They are:
- Allow submissions from - Before this date/time, students won't be able to upload their work.
- Due date - This is displayed to students, and any work submitted after this date/time will be flagged as late.
- Cut-off date - After this date/time, students will not be able to submit work. Usually disabled.
- Remind me to grade by - This will be displayed in the Moodle calendar for tutors/TAs.
Click "Save" (or "Save and enter another override").
