      Start Date – Click the calendar icon and select a different start date.

      Start Time – Click the hour (HH), minute (MM), and/or AM/PM lists to specify a different start time.

Note:

      If even one student has started the assignment, the Start Date and Start Time cannot be edited. (See example.)

      For HMH Growth Measure test assignments, the Start Date and End Date can be changed, but only within the preset test window, which is managed by your district administrator. Click to view details about HMH Growth Measure test windows.

      No Data Submission after Due Date/End Time – Select or clear this check box to enforce (or not enforce) the due date and (if specified) end time.

      Allow Students to Review Assessment Answers (appears only for program assessments and custom assessments and also for document-based investigation writing activities in the Social Studies programs) – Specify when students are allowed to review answers to the scored assessment or assignment.

      Class Student List – Add or remove students from the class list by selecting or clearing the check boxes. Note the following about adding and removing students:

      The class list includes all the students rostered in the class to which the assignment was originally created.

      If all the students originally selected for the assignment have completed it, then additional students cannot be selected.

      If a student has not completed the assignment (indicated by a status of "Not Started" or "In Progress"), that student can be removed from the assignment; however, once a student completes the assignment (indicated by a status of “Ready to Grade,” “Grading in Progress,” or “Completed”), that student cannot be removed from the assignment.

      You cannot remove all students from the assignment. If you want to remove all students, return to the Assignment Details page and select Delete. (See Delete Assignments for details.)

 

6.    Click Update. The assignment edits are saved.

Note: At this time, edits to the assignment are not reflected on the Reports pages; for now, reports will continue to display the assignment's original name and dates. However, edits made to assignments will be displayed on reports in an upcoming release.
