[ARCHIVED] Removing Late Penalty

[175197]

I originally set a late policy of 5% per day with a floor at 50%.  I decided that I wanted to remove that policy.  When I go to change it, I do get the warning message:

Changing the late policy will affect previously graded submissions.

After unchecking the automatic deduction box, I looked at the previous assignments where a penalty was applied and find that the penalties remain.

Have I misunderstood what should be happening?

Howdy,

According to the guide, disabling a late submission policy will not remove late penalties from previously graded assignments.

How do I apply a Late Submission policy in the Gradebook? 

Cheers,

Chad Scott

Thank you for clarifying. I wanted to change the late policy going into quarters 3 and 4. Automatic deductions affecting my IEP students.

So, ridiculous... Canvas should at least warn that the late policy you are about to apply is *irreversible*...

One way to remove the late submission penalty is to set the late submission deduction to 0%, then click apply.
