Task - Extend deadline for submission

What you have to do

1. You want to change the submission deadline.
   The course is not yet published for the students (e.g. status "Preparation") or the course element is blocked for the learners in the Visibility or Access tabs.

   • In your course, click on "Course editor" under "Administration" (top left).

   • Bring up the task.

   • If the task is still invisible (in the Visibility or Access tab), unblock it for learners if necessary.

   • Click on the "Workflow" tab.
     Enter the new date in "Submission deadline" and save.

   • If there is no error message, click the red cross (top right) to close the course editor. Select the "Yes, automatically" option to publish the change.

   • If there is a warning from the system that the task process has already started, exit the course editor by clicking on the red cross (top right) to close the course editor. Select the "Yes, automatically" option to publish the change.
     Proceed to the next step.

2. You want to change the submission deadline.
   The course or course element is already accessible. The deadline has already expired.
   The message "Not submitted" or "No submission" or "Submission without documents" is displayed.

   • Click the "participants" tab in the course view.

   • You are in the overview and all participants are listed.

   • Place a check mark in front of "User name". All participants are selected.
     Then click on the button (above) "Extend".
     Enter a new deadline at "Submission deadline" and save.
     The submission will be reopened.

   • It is recommended that you only select those people who are at the "Assignment" or "Submission" stages.
     Participants who are already in another step have already submitted and may already have received feedback from you.

3. You want to change the submission deadline.
   The course or the course element is already accessible. The set deadline is in the future.

   Proceed as described in step 1.
