    Hi Roy,

    The system doesn't currently have anything in place to automatically deduct a late penalty on a quiz. It will tell you how late the quiz is though so you can use your best judgement in deducting points.

  • I would really like to see an automatic late penalty option added, but when I try to follow the link to vote for it, I get a log in prompt and cannot log in. I don't get an option to register and when I click the only option available (reset password), I get an error message. How do I access the ideas page to vote for features???

    This is a significant limitation of D2L that I just discovered. I know other systems allow automatic grade reductions based on how late an assignment or quiz is.

    I agree. I am very tired of having to calculate all my own late penalties when Canvas can do it automatically.

    there have been requests on this forum for automatic penalty for years, it is not something a learning platform in 21st century would have difficulty implementing, but they still don't have that feature.
