Allow students to hand in after deadline
Allow all or a subset of your students to hand in after the deadline.
Deadlines in CodeGrade are hard by default, meaning that students cannot hand in after the deadline anymore. Sometimes, you may want to allow all your students to hand in after the deadline or give a small subset of your students permission to do so for good reasons.
Handing in after the deadline is configured on a course level, so that the same policy applies for all assignments in your course. Late submissions will always be visibly marked, so you can easily differentiate them.
Students can not hand in after the lock date using the permission explained in this guide, meaning the lock date can be seen as a second deadline. To allow students to also hand in after the lock date, give them the permission 'Upload after lock date' too.

Giving students the "Upload after deadline" permission in the Course Manager
- 1.Navigate to the "Course Management" page of your course.
- 2.Go to the "Permissions" tab and search for the "Upload after deadline" permission.
- 3.Enable this permission for students by checking the box in the Student role column.
- 1.Navigate to the "Course Management" page of your course.
- 2.Go to the "Permissions" tab, scroll down and add a new role. Call this role "Late Student".
- 3.By default, this new role will automatically have the same permissions as a regular student role. To allow this new role to hand in after the deadline search for the "Upload after deadline" permission.
- 4.Enable this permission for the late students by checking the box in the Late Student role column.
- 5.Now, on the "Members" tab, you can change the role of the students you want to allow to hand in after the deadline to "Late Student".
Use AutoTest submission metadata to automatically deduct points for late days after the deadline.
