You can set a Start Date and Due Date for any activity or set in Snorkl. This helps you manage when students can access and complete their work—perfect for pacing assignments or scheduling ahead of class time.
🗓️ What Start and Due Dates Do
Start Date: The activity stays hidden from students until the scheduled date and time. Once that time arrives, the activity automatically becomes available.
Due Date: Choose what happens to the activity once the due date passes.
What Happens After the Due Date?
When setting a due date, you can choose from three options:
Allow late submissions: Students can continue accessing and submitting work after the due date. Late submissions will be marked as late on the teacher side.
Make view only: Students can still see the instuctions of the activity and review their previous responses, but they can no longer submit new work.
Hide: The activity is hidden from students' class view. Previously submitted work remains available in their Portfolio.
💡 Tip: By default, activities allow late submissions after the due date.
⚙️ How to Set a Start and Due Date
You can add or adjust dates when assigning an activity or editing an activity that's already assigned.
When Assigning an Activity, click on Schedule:
If an Activity has already been assigned, navigate to the activity:
Go to My Classes and select the class and activity you want to schedule.
Click the Settings gear icon in the upper-right corner.
Select a Start Date and/or Due Date using the date and time pickers.
If you've set a due date, choose what happens afterward: Allow late submissions, Make view only, or Hide.
Click Save.
Your activity will automatically update based on the dates and settings you've selected.
💡 A Few Things to Know
Dates are optional. You can set a start date, a due date, both, or neither.
You can make changes anytime. Adjust or clear dates in Activity Settings as needed.
Adjust the status anytime. Teachers can manually change an activity's Status to Active, View Only, or Hidden, even when dates are scheduled.
Activity Sets can be scheduled, too. All activities within a set follow the same start date, due date, and status.
