Delete assignments

You can delete individual assignments or multiple assignments at one time.

You cannot delete assignments with results. Instead, unassign these assignments to make them unavailable to students but retain the results.

Using an LMS? If you sync results with your LMS gradebook, an assignment deleted in your MyLab or Mastering gradebook is not deleted from the LMS gradebook. The assignment remains in the LMS gradebook but is not included in grade calculations.

To delete a single assignment:

In the Assignment Manager, select the 3-dot Options menu the three dot options icon and choose Delete.

To delete multiple assignments:

  1. In the Assignment Manager, select Edit > Delete Assignments.

    In members of a course group, assignments you are not allowed to delete show with a green diamond instead of a check box.

  2. Optionally select Show All, All Chapters, or Select All Unassigned Assignments to filter the list of assignments.
  3. Optionally select Select All Unassigned Assignments to choose only assignments that have not been assigned.
  4. Select the assignments to delete or select the check box in the header to select all the assignments.
  5. Select Delete Assignments.
  6. Select Done when you finish.
