This article explains what may happen if a student misses an assignment deadline in Blackboard Ultra. It outlines different scenarios based on instructor settings, such as late submission policies, locked assignments, and the importance of contacting the instructor for possible solutions.
What happens depends on your instructor’s settings and course policies:
1. Late Submission May Be Allowed
-
Some instructors allow late submissions with or without a penalty.
-
Blackboard may still let you submit, but the instructor will see the late timestamp.
2. Submission May Be Locked
-
If the instructor has set the assignment to automatically close, you may no longer be able to submit after the deadline.
-
In this case, the Submit button will disappear.
3. You Should Contact Your Instructor
-
If you miss the deadline, contact your instructor as soon as possible.
-
Explain your situation and request a possible extension or alternative arrangement.
