Assignments can be active or inactive. Students can access an active assignment, but they cannot access or see an inactive assignment. An inactive assignment is also removed from the gradebook.
Selecting or deselecting the Include in List of Active Assignments option makes an assignment active or inactive, respectively. This option is on the Assignment Builder's "Set Titles and Dates" page for all assignment types. This page is available when you create or edit an assignment.
In your assignment lists, the MyLab grays inactive assignments. For example, in the following screen capture the second assignment is inactive.
