Assign Time Options

Assign Time Options let you customize an assignment before assigning it to students. After selecting an assignment from Find & Assign and selecting Assign to Class, you can choose who receives the assignment, set release and due dates, and adjust other assignment details.

‍

The options available at assign time may vary depending on whether you are using ASSISTments or ASSISTments Plus.

Assign Time Options with ASSISTments

After selecting Assign to Class, you can review the assignment details, choose which courses and students will receive the assignment, set the release and due dates, and customize the Student Experience.

At Assign Time, you can access the following options:

• Assignment Name: Review or update the assignment name.
• Course: Select the imported course or courses that will receive the assignment.
• Assignees: Assign to all students, select students, or student groups.
• Release Date: Choose when the assignment becomes available to students. 
  
  • No release date → the assignment is immediately available to students.
• Due Date: Set the date the assignment is due.
  
  • With a due date → students can still complete the assignment after the deadline, but work will be marked late in your Assignment Report. A due date is required for Schoology.
