Schedule assessment item
Scheduling an assessment item allows you to set:
- the date and time on which AssignIT opens so that students can submit their assignments.
- the due date and time for the assessment item, as stated in the Course Information Booklet
- the date and time after which submissions cannot be made with AssignIT.
Before you can schedule an assessment item you must complete the steps in:

- Click Schedule as indicated by the arrow in the image above.
The Schedule assessment item window will open.

- Select the required assessment item from the drop down list as indicated by the arrow in the image above.
The window will refresh and display the scheduling parameters.

- Enter the date you wish AssignIT to open, or select a date and time from the pop up calendar and clock. By default today's date appears and it is best to keep this date as the Open date.
- Enter the assignment due date (as detailed in the Course Information Booklet), or select a date and time from the pop up calendar and clock.
- Enter the date you wish AssignIT to close, or select a date and time
from the pop up calendar and clock. It is strongly recommended that you allow at least one week
after the assignment is due to cover late submissions.
Note: The "no submissions after" date is not displayed to students. - Click Save.
The Schedule assessment item - confirmed window will open.

- Check that the scheduled dates are correct.
- Click Back only if changes are required.
The next step is to test the submission from the student perspective.
