Learn to automatically deduct points for work done after the due date.
By default, students are not penalized for completing work late, but you can add a late policy.
Before you turn on the Derivita late policy, be sure that your LMS isn't also deducting points for late work, or students may be double penalized.
Add a late policy
- Go to any Derivita assignment in your course
- In the top right, click the three dots and choose Course Settings:
- Under Late Policy, choose your settings
- At the top, click Save
Derivita only penalizes work done late, so if a student does part of an assignment before the due date, they won't be penalized for those questions.
If you change the late policy in the middle of a course, it will apply to future work but won't affect students' existing scores.
