Educator Perspective
Activity retakes can be initiated in two ways:
The instructor can request that a student retake an activity.
The student can request that they retake an activity.
Asking Student to Retake an Activity
Retakes can only be requested once an activity has been graded.
To request a retake:
Click Grades from the left-hand navigation bar.
Open the grade panel for an activity.
To open the grade panel, hover your mouse over any cell in an activity column.
On the right side of the cell text field, a small arrow symbol will appear.
Click the symbol to open the grade panel on the right side of the screen.
Scroll down to the bottom of the grade panel, beneath the Submit Grade button and click Request Retake.
The student will receive a platform notification with the request and the assignment title.
Student Requesting a Retake Activity
Once an activity has been graded, a student can request to retake that activity. Once that request has been initiated, a platform notification will populate with the request; including the student’s name and the activity’s title.
To access the notification:
Click the notification to be taken to the relevant gradebook.
A red exclamation mark icon next to the cell of a submission will indicate a pending retake request.
Click on the cell to open the grade panel.
You will now see a section in the grade panel labeled Retake Requested by Student.
Click the Allow button to approve the request or the Deny button to deny the request.
Upon clicking either Allow or Deny, the student will receive a platform notification of the outcome of their retake request.
Grading Retakes and Managing Multiple Submissions

Managing multiple submissions
When an activity has multiple submissions, a grade can only be edited once a primary submission has been chosen. To choose and grade a primary submission, open the grade panel and do the following:
You will see a new dropdown menu close to the top of the panel that says Submission 1.
Click the dropdown menu and select the desired submission.
The submission time will change upon selecting a new submission.
Select the checkbox next to Mark as Primary Submission to choose a new primary submission.
Once the box has been checked, the grade for this submission can be changed.
Click the purple Submit Grade button to save all changes.
The new primary submission’s grade will be the one that will count towards the student’s grade.
