Assessment FAQs

For help with issues such as this one, you should contact your instructor or the help desk at your school. If you aren't sure how to contact the help desk, look for the technology office on your institution's website. You can also search the web for your institution's name + Blackboard + help or support. Also, make sure you use a supported internet browser and operating system for the version of Blackboard that your school uses.

Your instructor controls the date when assessments become available. You might also have to meet other criteria to access the assessment. For example, you might have to mark a lecture as reviewed first. Contact your instructor for more information.

You can check to make sure an assessment submitted successfully. On the Course Content page, select the assessment link. A panel appears with the date and time you made the submission. Not graded appears until your instructor grades the assessment.

As your instructors post grades, you'll find them in your activity stream. Select View your grade to display your grade. If your instructor added feedback, you'll see it after the item's title.

You can also access the assessment in your course to review your grade and feedback in context.

Your grades also appear on the global and course grades pages.

You must discuss this issue with your instructor.

You can't edit a submitted assignment, but you may be allowed to resubmit it. However, you can't resubmit all assignments. Check if you can submit an assignment more than once. If you can't and made a mistake, you must contact your instructor to ask for the opportunity to resubmit the assignment.

Assignments aren't graded automatically. Your instructor must grade each assignment and post the grade and feedback.

If your assignment has been submitted and graded, the grade appears in the assignment's row. To view more detail, select the assignment's title to access the Review Submission History page.
