Topic coordinators and teachers can grant students an extension beyond an assignment’s due date and cut-off date. This is usually done through the Assignment extension tool (which partially automates the process) but in certain situations can be done in the Assignment grading screen, for example, when a student has requested an extension without using the extension tool.

When setting the due date for a resubmission, or changing the initial due date for a selection of students, use a group or user override. To change the date for all students, edit the assignment’s settings instead.
