      Delete an Assignment

      You can delete an assignment from your course if necessary.

      Notes:

      • Deleting a graded assignment also removes the assignment from the Gradebook.
      • Deleting an assignment deletes all student submissions. Students can still access their assignments from their user files if they were submitted as file uploads. However, any comments you may have made in student assignments are also deleted.
      • When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, you cannot delete individual assignments for any student, group, or section in a closed grading period.

      1. In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.

      Assignment Index Link

      2. Locate the assignment you want to delete and click the Options icon [1]. Click the Delete link [2].

      Delete Assignment Option

      3. Click the OK button to confirm the deletion.
