Assignments submission time is wrong #1149

@Bicet

Bicet commented Oct 31, 2017

Submitting the document in the hour before the due time, should result in "ON time", but it is set to LATE (see attachment)

Server time is ok, timezone is ok, also time of submission is perfect, is only the "late submission" appearing 1 hour before it should appear

Bicet commented Nov 6, 2017

C'mon is it possible that I'm the only one having this problem?

Sorry, something went wrong.

@omarkhan

omarkhan commented Nov 6, 2017

I can't reproduce this. Can you verify that the course is set to the correct timezone? To do this, log in as admin and go to course page -> settings -> time zone.

@tlimbacher

tlimbacher commented Nov 9, 2017

I have the very same Problem. If the timezone would be wrong, then a submission should not be possible after "available until.." right? This seems to be the strange thing here--it only affects the submission time and not the availability of the assignment.

Bicet commented Nov 9, 2017 • edited Loading

Yep, it's a real problem also because it happens only on submissions. On discussion and announcements the time is reported correctly. And to be clear, if I change the timezone, it interpret it correctly, but the same, if the time of submission is < 1h I'll always get the message as in the picture.

does it happen to you after the daylight time savings?

can't say if the daylight saving time is the issue. We had no assignments before that. Although I've created the assignments before winter time, the setting of the due dates and the publishing was in winter time.
And yes, the late flag appears only for submissions within due-date - 1h. I still don't get why the submission is flagged with "late" since the due-date and available-until-date are the same. As I understand, they cant be late submissions with this configuration (since no submission should be possible after due-date=available-until-date)

omarkhan commented Nov 9, 2017

Hi - I tried following your steps, but could not reproduce the issue. Could you provide more detailed steps including details of your environment - Canvas version, plugins installed, account, course and user timezones, etc? Thanks!

Bicet commented Nov 10, 2017

I will try to update to the latest version today or tomorrow, I'm still on july/august version, and let you know.
I've just set the timezone to Europe/Rome in the course, as well the same timezone is set for my teacher and my student test users. The timezone on the server is set on Europe/Rome as well.

The only plugin enabled is turnitin, btw, also if disabled, i've the same problem.

What I've done is to create an assignment, as submission type i put file upload, no other options checked a part for due date with time.

If it can help you to squash this bug I can give you access to canvas and it's server, just drop me a line

Bicet commented Nov 11, 2017

I’m now synced to github, and it seems everything is back to normal and working

@spencerolson

spencerolson commented Jan 12, 2018

Hi , okay for me to close this one out? Sounds like this was fixed.

@3arrows

3arrows commented Feb 22, 2018

I think that Canvas has some serious bugs in handling timezone.
The problem of assignments submission time above is caused by using Time.now method in the submission model.

It should be coded with the Time.now.utc, Time.current or Time.zone.xxx, etc. Using Time.now is wrong in Ruby on Rails for the global system application.

If you use Time.now method, it returns the local time of system environment. Datetime settings in config/application.rb will be ignored. This is a specification of the Ruby programing language.
When your Canvas goes live in local timezone (such as CET) other than "UTC" timezone, calculation of time will be wrong in due date of every kind.

So, Instructure should make changes for a number of Time.now method in the whole Canvas application code.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention, .

You are correct that in almost all cases we want to use or and not (the exceptions are rare and only permit optimization, so can be ignored in this discussion). This is something we're aware of as an organization but sometimes old mistakes are unnoticed or new mistakes slip through. :(

I'm assuming that in this case you're talking about the default values for and in the method, and those do appear to be bugs. I'll pass the info on to the appropriate team.

3arrows commented Mar 16, 2018

Thank you for your action,

In a related move, Using Time.now method in the SummaryMessageConsolidator class causes annoying many notifications depending on the timezone of system environment.

By time of day, a number of messages will not be summarized as a single daily notification.

Please pass this information on to Dev team, too :)

Today, Tuesday, April 24, 2008, an assignment folder was open between 8:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. My school is in the Pacific Time zone. All students submitted their work into this folder at varying times while the folder was open, mainly during the last hour. Canvas marked all of them late.

Thanks for contributing to this issue. As it has been 2 years since the last activity, we are automatically closing the issue in 30 days. This is often because the request was already solved in some way and it just wasn't updated or it's no longer applicable. If that's not the case, please respond before the issue is closed, or post a message on the . We'll gladly take a look again!

Canvas (Known Issue) - "Invalid submission file type" Error When Submitting to Assignment with Office 365

  • Service Desk Self Service
  • GBIT Service Desk

canvas assignment submission issues

Description of Issue

For Canvas Assignments with the online File Upload submission type where the instructor has enabled the option to restrict upload submission types to certain file extensions, students will get the error message "Invalid submission file type" when attempting to use the Office 365 submission option to submit a file directly from their OneDrive. The message appears after the student selects a file for submission and appears even if the file's extension matches a type allowed by the assignment's settings. This issue makes it impossible for the student to submit their file with the Office 365 option, and the student must use the workaround described in this document.

Screenshot of the "Invalid submission file type" error message seen by students using the Office 365 submission option in Canvas

Students who encounter this issue should submit their file to the Canvas assignment by downloading the file from their OneDrive and then using the File Upload submission option in the Canvas assignment to upload the file from their computer.

Navigate to your UWGB OneDrive:

Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Portal with your UWGB email and password.

Microsoft 365 app launcher icon

In the navigation panel on the left side of the page, select My files to view all of your files and folders.

  • Download the file you wish to submit to the Canvas Assignment (For detailed instructions on this step, please see: Download files and folders from OneDrive or SharePoint - Microsoft Support ).

Canvas @ Yale

  • Canvas Assignment Tool: Overview

Updated on Mar 22, 2022

The Canvas Assignments tool is one of several native Canvas tools that allows instructors to collect student work for grading. Through the Canvas Assignment tool, students can submit their completed work and instructors can easily collect and score the work either offline (by downloading all submissions with a single button click) or online through the Canvas SpeedGrader function. Canvas Assignments can also be used to create columns in the gradebook for grading student work that is not submitted online.

Several of the External Applications integrated into Canvas work in coordination with the Canvas Assignments tool. For these tools, you will still create the Canvas Assignment as normal, but you will need to follow the detailed instructions for the specific external application to properly link it to the Canvas Assignment. Visit our Instructional Tools support page and click on the appropriate tool for details.  

Table of Contents

This article will address the following information:

Why use Canvas Assignments?

Use cases for assignments, how do i use canvas assignments in my course, what will my students see, additional resources, for students.

Canvas Assignments are a great centralized location to find and submit their coursework.  It can provide students with detailed instructions for each assignment, due dates, template files for students to use when applicable, and rubrics to help students understand what is expected to achieve full credit for their work. Canvas' online grading via the SpeedGrader tool is a core feature of the Canvas Assignment tool, which allows students to quickly receive and reply to instructor comments on their work. Canvas Assignments also work hand-in-hand with the Canvas Grades area, so students can quickly see how well they did on each assignment and how they are doing overall in the course in one place.

For Instructors

Canvas Assignments streamlines the way that student work is collected. Instead of receiving digitally completed homework in the form of individual emails from each student for each assignment, instructors can create a Canvas Assignment to collect the work of all students. With Canvas' online grading tools, instructors can use rubrics for consistent grading and can use the Canvas SpeedGrader tool to provide detailed annotations on student-submitted files or simply use the one button download all submissions button to export all student files at once to their local computer. The Canvas Assignments tool also allows instructors the flexibility to assign activities to specific due dates for individual students or even create activities that are only available to certain students.

Canvas Assignments can be used in many ways—below are just a few examples of how assignments can be used in your course:

  • Homework Assignments
  • Research Papers
  • Written Exams
  • Handwritten Student Work (check out our help article for students on  how to create a PDF of handwritten work )
  • Overall grade for course (that differs from the Canvas-calculated Totals column)
  • Grade for an oral exam or other activity that does not require students to hand in work
  • Class participation grade
  • Peer Review Assignments – students can be assigned to read and comment on one or more of their classmates' submissions
  • Group Assignments – require one submission for a group of students

Instructor and TA level users can always access the tool to create and organize activities, but the tool can be hidden from students if desired. To learn more about how to use Canvas Assignments to facilitate your online course work, please reference:

  • Grading Assignments Using the SpeedGrader
  • Due Dates versus Display Dates
  • How do I automatically assign peer reviews for an assignment?
  • How do I view student peer review comments as an instructor?
  • How do I assign an assignment to a course group?
  • Turnitin Assignment Settings Options
  • Viewing a Turnitin Report (Instructor)

The actual view your students see will depend on the settings you set on your assignments. Below you can see what a student would see for an online, file upload submission type assignment.  

On each assignment, instructors can set an " Available From " date, which is the date when the assignment will open for students to start submitting their work. Even though an assignment may not yet be open, students will be able to see that there is an assignment and will be able to click on it.  

When a student views an assignment that has not opened for submissions yet, they will see a message showing that the assignment is locked and the date when the assignment will open, which is the " Available From " date.

canvas assignment submission issues

When going to submit a file, the students will see the assignment instructions, points, due / available from / until dates, and the rubric (if one exists). The students will submit by clicking the " Submit Assignment " button and following the process to upload and submit their file(s).

Turnitin Tips and Known Issues

When creating a turnitin assignment:.

  • Turnitin must be enabled for a Canvas assignment before students begin uploading their submissions, and Canvas administrators cannot submit a Turnitin assignment on behalf of students in Canvas. If students have already submitted an assignment, you will not be able to enable Turnitin retroactively and will instead need to create a separate Turnitin assignment and then have students re-submit to that assignment. If you decide to do this but do not want to grade this re-submission, you can enter “0” for the “Points” for the Turnitin assignment. Please note, however, that if you make the assignment worth “0” points but give students grades for it, the grades will count as extra credit towards the total course grade. Please make sure that when you are grading the assignment you are entering the grade for the original standard Canvas assignment and not for the Turnitin assignment.
  • Always load the “External Tool Assignment” in a new window.
  • You cannot use Turnitin with group assignments.
  • You cannot restrict student submission file types.
  • Students cannot submit multiple file uploads.
  • If you want to use a Canvas rubric for the assignment, you must add the rubric before setting the External Tool submission type.
  • If you want your assignment to be moderated, you must  set up the moderated assignment before setting the External Tool submission type. If you need to return to the moderate page after the External Tool is added, open the assignment and add /moderate after the assignment URL.  Please note: Only a Teacher in a Canvas site can add /moderate after the assignment URL, so other users who encounter this issue (for example: a TA) will need to ask a Teacher in the site to perform this workaround. 
  • Assignments honor Turnitin resubmission settings; they do not automatically allow resubmissions like regular Canvas assignments.
  • Please note that the Student View does not support Turnitin assignments as the Test Student.

When grading a Turnitin Assignment:

  • The originality report for an initial assignment submission may take up to ten minutes to generate.
  • The Turnitin interface only shows students who have submitted so you may need to search to view students who have not submitted their assignment.

When encountering error messages:

  • Turnitin may occasionally generate an error message about the status of a submission. If a submission includes an error, you can view the message by hovering over the Turnitin icon. Please contact [email protected] regarding any Turnitin issues.

When using Turnitin assignments in future semesters:

  • If you copy a Turnitin assignment from another course, you will have re-enable any optional settings you customized previously and will also have to open the assignment before students can submit to it.

When students are submitting Turnitin assignments:

  • Please consult the instructions for submitting a Turnitin assignment .
  • Please note that you cannot submit a Turnitin assignment without having a confirmed default email address in Canvas. If you see a login screen for Turnitin when submitting a Canvas assignment, it means that you have not confirmed your default email address in Canvas. To fix this issue, follow the instructions for confirming your default Canvas email address , and then follow the instructions for submitting a Turnitin assignment in Canvas through a web browser .
  • Students using devices with small screens to submit assignments may have trouble viewing the Accept Submission-Save button since the confirmation dialog box is very tall and wide and on small screens the button to complete the submission process can be out of view.
  • Do not open the submission page of a Turnitin assignment until you are ready to submit. If you leave the Turnitin submission page open for an extended period, a page-time out error will occur with this message: “Sorry, we could not process your request. We are sorry, but it appears we are experiencing an issue at this time. Please try again in a few moments. If the issue persists, please contact Turnitin Product Support.” If you see this message, you will need to attempt re-submitting the assignment. If you experience any issues with the re-submission attempt, please email [email protected] for help.

When Students Need to Resubmit an Assignment After the Due Date

Turnitin does not allow re-submissions after an assignment’s due date, so to have a student resubmit after a due date, an instructor must  delete the student’s initial submission before they can resubmit.

When Sources Need to Be Excluded from Originality Reports

Instructors can exclude sources from originality reports . Please note that match-percentages with excluded sources do not display for student, but the “Assignment Comments” feature  in SpeedGrader can be used as a workaround.

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Canvas  Assignments  are a way for instructors to provide students opportunities to practice using the knowledge and skills they have gained or to assess student performance related to such knowledge and skills. (Creating an Assignment is the  only  way to create a new column in the Gradebook.)

In Canvas there are four basic  Submission Types  for assignments. The submission types include:

  • No Submission : For assignments for which you are not collecting any content from the students.
  • Text Entry : For students to enter text directly into a text box on Canvas.
  • Website URL : For students to enter a URL (usually to a blog, video, podcast, etc.).
  • Media Recordings : For students to upload or record media for submission.
  • File Uploads : For students to upload files for submission ( Restrict Upload File Types  will allow you to limit which types of files may be submitted).
  • On Paper : For assignments students will submit in person.
  • External Tool : For assignments which students will submit through a third-party tool (such as Turnitin, Panopto Video Quiz, and PlayPosit).

When getting started with Assignments, learn to

  • Create an assignment shell with the Canvas guide  How do I create an assignment? 

If you select  Peer Reviews Appear Anonymously , annotation tools in  SpeedGrader  will become unavailable.

If you change the  Assign To  area from  Everyone  to select students after submissions have already begun, and do not have a second set of Assign To dates, submissions from unassigned students will disappear.

  • Published assignments are visible as existing outside of availability dates, but students cannot see the details.
  • If looking to update the due and/or availability dates on multiple assignments, see   How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor?
  • If choosing the option to make an assignment a  Group Assignment : If only assigning to specific groups, make sure to click the  X  on the  Everyone Else  choice under  Assign to .

tip indicator

Media Recording  Assignments are not recommended due to technical reasons. Instead, have students submit media by embedding it in a  Text Entry  assignment through Panopto .

Clearly express expectations and criteria for grading by using a  Rubric .

Be cautious limiting submission attempts, as students often make mistakes loading documents and need multiple attempts to ensure you have the correct submission.

  • Delete an assignment with the Canvas guide  How do I delete an assignment?
  • This duplication process will not work for Quizzes.
  • Attach a rubric to an assignment for grading or to communicate expectations to students with the Canvas guide  How do I add a rubric to an assignment?

Accessibility Tips

  • Use descriptive text for links, instead of long URLs or ‘click here’. 
  • Make instructions brief and to-the-point. Avoid long paragraphs and sentences.
  • Consider allowing multiple submission types to accommodate technical limitations students may face.

Assignment Groups  are a way to categorize different graded items in Canvas. For example, you may have journals, blogs, and essays which your students create in your course. Assignment Groups allow you to label and group different types of assignments separately in order to better organize and for ease when applying weighting (see  How do I weight the final course grade based on assignment groups? ). When getting started with Assignment Groups, learn to

  • Add and delete assignment groups with the Canvas guide  How do I add an assignment group in a course?
  • Move or reorder an assignment group with the Canvas guide  How do I move or reorder an assignment group?
  • Make rules governing grading expectations within assignment groups with the Canvas guide  How do I create rules for an assignment group?

TAM 2XX Course Policies :

Below are the course policies for the TAM 2XX courses (210, 211, 212, and 251). Please read through them and familiarize yourself with the policies regarding course logistics.

Academic integrity, harassment, and discrimination Computer-Based Testing Facility Contact and obtaining help   Campuswire Gradebook Final Grading Lectures   iClickers Quiz Discussion Online Homework Special accommodations

COVID-19 Expectations :

Following University policy, all students are required to engage in appropriate behavior to protect the health and safety of the community. Students are also required to follow the campus COVID-19 protocols.

Students who test positive for COVID-19 through a SHIELD Illinois community testing site must not attend class. These students are judged to have excused absences for the class period and should submit an excused absence request form found on the course webpage to receive accommodations.

  • Personal crisis (e.g., car accident, required court appearance, death of a closerelative).
  • Required attendance at an official UIUC activity (e.g., varsity athletics, band concert).
  • You are using accommodations from your DRES letter.
  • In all cases you must complete the Excused Absence Request Form found on your course homepage and upload a scan of the official written documentation explaining your absence.
  • In cases (a) or (b) an official excuse letter from the Dean on Duty (or for illness or injury, a doctor's note with specific dates to be excused from schoolwork) must be submitted via the online form within 2 weeks of the due date of the missed assessment, but no later than reading day. In cases of extended or unusual illness, late submission of excuse documentation will be considered.
  • In case (c) an official letter from the designated university official must be submitted via the online form at least one week prior to the due date of the missed assessment.
  • In case (d) you must submit your DRES letter and state the specific accommodations you are requesting to use.
  • Notwithstanding the above, at your professor's discretion you may be required to make up any excused work or attend substitute instruction or assessment.

Academic integrity, harassment, and discrimination :

Academic integrity infractions, harassment, and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. See the University's Student Code , Article 1, Part 4 and the Campus Conduct Policy . Please report any concerns immediately to your professor.

Academic integrity infractions will be dealt with using the most stringent available counter-measures. All infractions are documented through the campus-wide FAIR database, that remains part of the student's permanent record. All infractions in this database will be referred to the Senate Committee on Student Discipline for review and potential additional sanctions. Typical pentalties in TAM 2XX courses for academic infractions include dropping one course letter grade. Students have been expelled from the university for cheating.

Infractions include, but are not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, and assisting others in a manner not prescribed or allowed for in the original assignment or directions. Notably, for homework assignments, students are encouraged and allowed to work together. The philosophy is that homeworks are formative assessments, meaning they are intended to foster learning. This is in contrast to summative assessments, including quizzes and exams, that measure individual student mastery of course concepts, for which students are of course forbidden from assisting each other.

Computer-based testing deserves special mention. This testing is typically given across multiple days. During the entire time period of testing, students are strictly forbidden from discussing any aspect of the test/quiz whatsoever with other students. This includes specifics of questions, general aspects of questions, comments on the difficulty of the quiz, etc. This policy is strictly enforced to preserve the integrity of the computer-based testing.

Contact and obtaining help:

The two main ways to obtain help are online at Campuswire, or in person at office hours. You can also speak with your professor briefly after lecture. Please do not send email directly to CAs, TAs or professors for routine help or absences.  

Online forum (Campuswire) :

This class uses Campuswire for ALL communications between the instructor, TAs, CAs, and students. Students should not communicate with instructors via email. This is so we can ensure a faster response and keep everyone informed about what's going on.

Students are encouraged to post public messages on Campuswire ("Post to Entire Class"). If you like, you can post anonymously, but we encourage everyone to use their name because it makes a friendlier and more welcoming environment. We will never judge anyone for asking anything on Campuswire, and you will see professors, TAs, and CAs making mistakes and saying stupid things as well!

You can use the private feature on Campuswire by posting a message visible only to the Instructors. To do so, choose the "Post to instructors and TAs" option in the dropdown menu located at the bottom right corner of the window.

The use of Campuswire should not replace the in-person Office Hours time, since some questions cannot be fully addressed via an online forum.

Gradebook :

All assessment scores are stored on Canvas. Note that we are only using this website for grade reporting. All other class-related information will be posted only to the official class website or Campuswire. Any errors in grade reporting appearing on Canvas must be reported to "Instructors" via Campuswire within 2 weeks of the due date of the assessment item or by the last day of class, whichever is earlier.

Final grades :

The total score  s  corresponds to final grades as follows.

97% ≤   < 100% A+ 93% ≤   < 97%  A 90% ≤   < 93%  A-
87% ≤   < 90% B+ 83% ≤   < 87%  B 80% ≤   < 83%  B-
77% ≤   < 80% C+ 73% ≤   < 77%  C 70% ≤   < 73%  C-
67% ≤   < 70% D+ 63% ≤   < 67%  D 60% ≤   < 63%  D-
 < 60%

Prompt and regular attendance at lectures is essential for your comprehension and success in the course.

iClickers :

Short quizzes are conducted during lectures using iClickers. You can use either a physical remote or the iClicker app. An iClicker remote can be purchased from any of the bookstores. You must sign up for an iClicker.com account, and register for the class you are enrolled in by searching for it once you are logged in.

iClicker participation grade is worth 5% of final course grade. Your lowest six iClicker scores for the semester will be dropped automatically. These drops should be reserved for unexpected occurrences such as sickness or a family emergency. No missed iClicker scores will be excused for the semester regardless of the reasons.

Computer-based quizzes:

This course uses the College of Engineering Computer-Based Testing Facility (CBTF) for its quizzes and exams: https://cbtf.engr.illinois.edu .

The policies of the CBTF are the policies of this course, and academic integrity infractions related to the CBTF are infractions in this course.

If you have accommodations identified by the Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) for exams, carefully go through and follow these instructions: https://cbtf.illinois.edu/students/dres . Please note, The CBTF cannot add DRES accommodations at the time of an exam. They MUST be uploaded 5 business days beforehand.

Any problem with testing in the CBTF must be reported to CBTF staff at the time the problem occurs. If you do not inform a proctor of a problem during the test then you forfeit all rights to redress.

Review all instructions on the CBTF website before your first exam: https://cbtf.illinois.edu/students

0.9*max(First Try, Quiz Retry) + 0.1*min(First Try, Quiz Retry).

If you have an excused absence for the quiz, then you will take the assessment at a later date, or make other arrangements at the discretion of the instructor.

Quiz review policy

Please note: Quiz review gives you the opportunity to see your specific quiz instance, with the specific numbers for your question, and review it with the TA. If you visit TA or Professor office hours, we are always happy discuss a question you saw on the quiz as you remember it, and you may take all the notes you wish at this time, and keep them - but review of specific quiz instances can only be accommodated during the quiz review sesion.

Discussion sections :

Discussion sections start in Week 1 of the semester. Prompt and regular attendance at your discussion section is required. You must attend only the discussion section in which you are enrolled. You will not receive a grade for the worksheet if you attend the wrong discussion section.

Most discussion sessions will consist of a group worksheet exercise, which is a high-energy and efficient 50-minute learning experience. Students will be placed in permanent groups of three to four people during the third week of classes. If you are more than 5 minutes late to a discussion session then you will not receive credit for the section. All members of the group should be working together as a team. The TAs and CAs will be evaluating team work, problem-solution skills and interpretation of the problem.

There are two main goals for the discussion worksheets:

  • Gain experience in team-work. This is a critical skill in all areas of engineering, from large-scale industrial projects to academic research. Working productively in teams is a skill that must be learned just like math or physics, and regular practice is essential. Often you will have to work with people who you do not especially like, or who you find it difficult to work with. It is important to lean how to manage these situations so that the important work is still accomplished.
  • Apply engineering concepts to real-world problems. Each worksheet focuses on a real-world problem that you will have to use your engineering skills to solve. This will include using the material from class, but also knowledge from previous engineering, math, and science classes. You will also have to think like an engineer, and understand when to make approximations, how to judge the appropriateness of different models, and which mathematics and physics is most useful for a given engineering problem.

We also hope that these discussion worksheets will help you to meet other engineering students and we encourage you to get together outside of lectures and discussions to work collaboratively on homeworks and exam study.

Online homeworks :

Weekly online homeworks will be assigned via PrairieLearn . Each assignment is due at 11:59pm on the assigned due date. Due dates are available inside PrairieLearn. These assignments place an emphasis on mastery . The idea is to keep doing questions until you master the underlying concept or method. Once you do, you should be able to answer these questions very quickly.

The way this works in PrairieLearn is that each question has a value, a point total, and a point maximum. If you answer a question correctly, two things happen:

  • The point total increases by the value, until you reach the point maximum.
  • The value increases (2x, 3x, 4x, etc.).

If you answer a question incorrectly, one thing happens:

  • The value goes back to what it was originally (1x).

This system rewards repeated correct answers, which tend to demonstrate mastery. There is no penalty (other than resetting the value) for answering a question incorrectly, so don't be afraid to submit an answer. Similarly, don't be afraid to keep doing a question after you reach the point maximum - your point total with never go down!

If you click on the "?" just to the right of the line about available credit, you'll see all the dates associated with this homework. In particular, it says:

  • you can receive 100% until Main End Date
  • you can receive 80% until Extended End Date(two days later)
  • you can receive 0%, but can keep doing problems as practice for the rest of the semester.

Note that your score will never go down. For example, if you achieve 90% by the Main End Date, you won't be able to increase your score after that time, but you won't be penalized for not reaching 100% - your score will remain 90% forever. On the other hand, if you achieve only 70% by the Main End Date you will be able to increase your score after that time (to a maximum of 80%) until the Extended End Date.

Special accommodations :

To obtain disability-related academic adjustments or accommodations, students with disabilities must contact their professor and Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) as soon as possible. Students who require special accommodations for exams should schedule to take their exam at DRES, and DRES staff will communicate with the professor to organize the exam. There is no need to inform the professor about this in advance.

If you have accommodations identified by the Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) for exams, please submit your Letter of Accommodations (LOA) here before you make your first exam reservation. This must be done each semester you use the CBTF.

Final Exam :

Please visit each course's home page for details regarding the final exam.

Read tHE EXECUTIVE ORDER

Message from the Secretary of State

The State Department is our nation’s oldest cabinet agency, our nation’s lead foreign affairs agency, and its employees are the face of the United States to the rest of the world.  In order to effectively pursue our foreign policy goals and ensure our national security, it is imperative we create a workforce that truly reflects the country we represent.  

Our country’s diversity is our greatest strength.  When we fully leverage everyone and everything our nation has to offer, our foreign policy is stronger, smarter, and more creative.  As I said in my confirmation hearing, I will measure the success of my tenure based on how well we can recruit and retain a workforce that looks like America.  Within the first few months of my administration, I appointed the Department’s first-ever stand-alone Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, who reports directly to me and leads the newly created Secretary’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion.  I also created the Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Council to help achieve the goals and objectives outlined in the following Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Strategic Plan.  

Together, we will ensure that the Department of State is a leader in government-wide efforts to advance DEIA goals for the federal workforce.  In doing that, we will also be able to ensure that the Department itself is in the strongest possible position to deliver for the U.S. people in an increasingly diverse, complex, and interconnected world.
