Schedule Due Dates

If Schedule Due Dates is selected – click the pencil icon to amend Start and End Dates dates for each phase. Note: Overlaps are not allowed. If you allow students to submit late, they will be able to provide feedback after late submission to others, but they will not receive feedback as their assignment will not be part of the initial pool.
