Unassign materials

You may decide to unassign an activity that you previously assigned. If you unassign an activity after there are already submissions, the student grades are still available, but the score is no longer included in the computation of course grades.

Tip: To change the due date for an activity, see Change due dates. To remove the due date for an activity, but keep the activity assigned, see Assign materials without due dates.

Click Unassign.
Click OK to confirm.
The activity is no longer listed as assigned and all assignment status icons related to the asset are removed.

Note: On the Assignment Calendar page, a blue checkmark icon indicates an asset assigned without a due date and a gray checkmark icon indicates an unassigned asset .
