Your students might request extensions in person or by Private Message, Ask Your Teacher message, or email. You can grant
these extension requests and set the duration, penalty, and any extra submissions
to allow for the
extension.

- Submissions
- The total number of allowed submissions for the
assignment. See Additional Submissions.
- Penalty
- A positive number — or 0 for no
penalty — and the penalty method you want to use with each extension.
- % unearned
- A percentage of the point value of the questions answered correctly after the
extension is granted. No penalty is applied if no more questions are answered
correctly.
- % total
- A percentage of the total possible points for the assignment. This penalty is applied
when the extension is granted.
- points
- The specified number of points. This penalty is applied when the extension is granted.
See Extension Penalties.

Click Save to grant the extension.
Students are
not automatically notified when you grant an extension this way.
Always let extension recipients know:
- The new due date and time
- The new number of submissions allowed, if changed
- The penalties applied, if any
Important Because granting an extension changes the student's
due date, automatic point adjustments are based on each student's due date with any
granted
extensions. If needed, manually adjust the student's assignment score after the extension
period
ends.
