Ignoring, Clearing, or Allowing Additional Assignment Attempts

If there are circumstances where a student needs to be given the opportunity to resubmit an assignment, course instructors have the ability to either “Ignore” or “Clear” the current attempt.

In instances where the student submitted the assignment with the wrong attachment or similar situations, you can use the “Clear Attempt” option to remove the submission completely since it is not relevant. In most cases though, you will want to use the “Ignore Attempt” option or “Allow Additional Attempt”. Either of those will allow the student to submit the assignment again, but will maintain the original submission history and attachments in the grade center.
