Automatic zero for no submission

[ChasitySmith]

I would like for a zero to automatically be applied when a student has "no submission" by the due date. I  have already went to grades, then "late policies", then checked the box that said "Automatically apply grade for missing submissions" and made sure the Grade for missing submissions percentage was set to zero. However, it's still not working

Hi @ChasitySmith ,

Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!

That is weird... I just tested it on my end and it seemed to be working fine. Did you by chance do this after students already starting submitting assignments that you were testing this on? There's a possibility that that's the reason it isn't working right. However with new assignments I'm not seeing any issue.

Let me know, we're here to help!

To add to @NoahBoswell 's answer, check your grade posting policy. It is in the same settings menu for Grades. I'm not sure if having it set to Manual or Automatic will impact the zero's setting. You might also wait 24 hours to see if it starts applying by tomorrow (it should not take that long).
