# Assignment Nicknames

## Teachers have the option to add a nickname to an assignment title. Teachers and students will see the nickname.

To create an assignment, locate the resource in the course, and select **Assign**.

In the assignment settings, there is an option to add a Nickname.

 If you would like to add a nickname, **type your nickname** in the box, and after setting other assignment options, select **Assign**.

 Students will see the nickname on their assignment card.

 Teachers will see the nickname in All Submissions by can hovering/rolling over the number of the assignment in the ASGMT column. In the image below, we rolled over the number 1 to see the nickname Retake.

The nickname (along with the resource title) will also appear on the assignment card for students.

\*Reports will continue to show the resource name in the course rather than the nickname.

\*Assignment nicknames do not appear in the My Course area for students. My Course only shows resource titles.
