Assignment Statuses for Teachers

After an assignment is made, the assignment will have a status. This is a quick guide to assignment statuses.

  • Locked: A locked status indicates that the start date and time are in the future. Students cannot view or open an assignment until the start date and time. 
  • Not Started: Not started indicates that students have access to the assignment because the start date and time have arrived, but the assignment has not yet been opened.
  • Started: Started indicates that the assignment has been opened  but has not been submitted. 
  • Needs Manual Grading: Needs manual grading indicates that the assignment has non-auto graded components and grading has not been completed. Needs manual grading also includes assignments that are closed but were not submitted by at least 1 student.
  • Graded: Graded indicates that students have submitted and submissions have been graded. In order for data to go to reports, the assignment status must be set to graded. It is a good idea for teachers to check the assignment status after an assignment has been completed by all students and graded.
