Schedule an Assignment Based on the Day of the Week

If you know the date and time when the assignment will be due, this method is slightly faster to use.

Assignments scheduled in this way are scheduled to the same day of the same week of class when copied to other sections or courses, regardless of the meet times of the sections to which they are copied.

For example, if the assignment was due at 3:00 PM on Friday of week 3 in the fall term, it will be due at 3:00 PM on Friday of week 3 in the spring term if copied to that term.

Alternatively, you can Schedule an Assignment Based on Class Schedule.

1. Open the Schedule page.

   From My Classes, click Class Schedule under Class Tools.

2. Find the assignment you want to schedule in the Assignments list.

   • You can search your listed assignments by typing part of the name, category, or assignment ID in the search box.

   • If needed, click the Unscheduled heading to show assignments that are not scheduled for this section.
   • To filter your unscheduled assignments, select Past Year, All My Assignments, or Course Pack Assignments.

   Only assignments that you own or are scheduled to the current section are listed.

3. Drag the assignment to the week in which it will be due.

   • If needed, drag the assignment to a different week number at the top of the Schedule panel.

   • Unscheduled Course Pack assignments are grouped under the Course Pack name.

     Expand the Course Pack to see the individual assignments.

   • Multiple unscheduled assignments with the same name are grouped together.

     Expand the group to see the individual assignments, or drag the group to schedule the most recently saved assignment in the group.

   • Dragging to the Scheduled section of the Assignments list will not work.

4. Set the Due date and time for the assignment.

   1. Select On a specific day of the week.

   2. Select a day of the week when the assignment will be due.

   3. Enter the time when the assignment will be due.

   The calculated due date and time is displayed at the top of the panel.

5. Change the Available or View Until rules.

   By default, the assignment is available at the start of the course and students can view their work until the end of the course.

6. Click Schedule.

   The assignment is listed under the selected week and the calculated assignment dates are displayed.

If needed, add restrictions to the assignment.
