Managing assignment attempts settings

Use the steps in this article to modify your students' assignment attempts settings.

Students can make a set number of attempts at each assignment type. The default number of attempts, including the first attempt, is:

• Lessons: 3
• Quizzes: 1
• Tests: 1

You can change the number of assignment attempts allowed to students at the default level (all courses) or for each individual course. When a student has multiple allowed attempts for an assignment:

• Students: Students can choose to retake the assignment with every previous answer visible and editable. A Redo assignment button is available for students to use in the player and a Redo button displays on the Course card and the Assignment Details header. 
• Parents: Parents can choose to reassign assignments to students, allowing the student to retake the assignment with every previous answer visible and editable. A Reassign button is available on the Course card and on the grading page for parents to use.
