Extend an assignment submission deadline

1. Log in to the eLearn/ODL portal and open your module.
2. Find and open the Assignment whose deadline you want to extend.
3. Select Settings at the top of the assignment page.
4. Expand Availability and enter the new Due date and time.
5. Check the Cut-off date. If it is enabled, move it to a time after the new due date so students can still submit. The due date marks later work as late; the cut-off date stops submissions altogether.
6. Click Save and display. Check that the new deadline appears correctly on the assignment page.

For an extension for one student or group: Use an assignment override or individual extension instead of changing the deadline for everyone.
