Common Questions

Your timer will run out, your responses will get locked, but your attempt won’t auto-submit. Reopen your Ongoing attempt under Submissions to submit your lock responses.
Your saved responses are locked after the due date but won’t auto-submit. Reopen your attempt and select Submit Entire Assignment.
