Send Reminders from the Gradebook

When to Use?

Instructors can send reminders to students from the gradebook for assignments that haven't been submitted yet. 

A student user will be counted and receive the reminder if they didn't submit and:

  • they are available in the course.
  • they have not received an automatic zero.
  • they don’t have a manual override score that was posted.

Procedure

From the Gradebook list view, this option is in the overflow menu.

Reminders are sent as a blind carbon copy to non-submitting students or groups as a course message.

Instructors can view the sent message in their course messages. If messages are off and the reminder is sent as an email, the instructor will receive a copy of the email.

When sending the reminder, the instructor will need to confirm their intent to send the reminder. The confirmation displays a count of the number of non-submitting students or groups who will receive the reminder.

For anonymous grading, non-submitting students receive the reminder via e-mail. This ensures that anonymity is preserved.
