To set a cut-off date (after which the system will no longer accept submissions), check the “Enable” checkbox. The “Due date” must be after the “Allow submissions from” date.

If you uncheck all of the “Enable” checkboxes, the assignment will be available to students for the duration of the course. To make assignment submissions available for only a set period of time, click the “Enable” checkboxes next to “Allow submission from” and “Due date.” Update the date and time drop-down boxes accordingly.
