Override Late Policy in Speedgrader

[lindsay_henry]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

For more information, please read through the  Canvas Release Notes (2021-10-16).

Currently, teachers must go to the Gradebook to override an automatic deduction due to a student submission being late.  It would be more convenient if a teacher could override the late deduction while grading in Speedgrader. late policy‌ newgradebook‌

Current Speedgrader View (No option to edit/override):

I would also like to see this problem fixed in Canvas.  I do not understand the thought process Canvas has taken on this issue as I believe this is a bug in the design of the speedgrader feature.

Speedgrader should have the option of applying the late, excused, not late statuses. It is a pain to go back to the gradebook when I want to change the status of a student's assignment.

I would also like to be able to change the status, such as "late" in speed grader.  There are some assignments that are not late, but a resubmission that I allowed.  But in order to take the "late" status off there are so many screens and clicks!

[bontomasin]

Absolutely a need. As Canvas is working with more and more k-12 institutions it is valuable to recognize that we are grading more assignment and more often than college professors. The amount of clicking and page changes is excessive.

I agree this completely needs to be done and sooner rather than later.

Another vote from me.

1. Change Assignment Status in SpeedGrader
2. Automatically remove late penalty on regrading (resubmission)

[sallycharris]

Yes, please add this feature to override the late policy from Speedgrader, as well as override the missing policy from Speedgrader. 

[jamin_hoffman]

Yes!  Please provide this function ASAP!

👏👏Add to this issue the need to accept the resubmission score to mark the submission as "graded." When I click on the resubmission link, points automatically get deducted because the assignment is now technically 'late,' even though I ask students to resubmit work all the time (normally after the deadline). Then I have to go into the gradebook to mark the assignment as 'on time.' These options could and should added to speedgrader like the poster suggests. Thanks!

I agree!
