How do I "exempt" a student from an assignment (ie. they were sick) and make the "not turned in" status change to "returned" or something so that it no longer shows up as "not turned in?"

    Hi Shannon,

    Thanks for using Microsoft products and posting in the community, I'm glad to offer help.

    According to your description, you can just select the students you want to ‘exempt’, and the ‘Return’ button will appear so that you can change its status to ‘Returned’. Shown as below:

    Duh! It never occurred to me to use the return feature as an "E." :) As long as I have your ear for a moment: Could you explain to me what a student/parent is doing that causes a paper to appear "turned in" when it has no attachment? (I have limited experience w/Teams, and most of my assignments simply require a picture of an assignment to be submitted.) I teach elementary school, and I don't think they are doing it on purpose. I think they must try to attach the picture and then hit "submit" without properly attaching the picture???

    Ok.. one more and then I'll stop! Is there a way/place I can log on as a "pretend" student so that I can get a student's experience with Teams and answer a lot of these questions myself?

    I'm through! I promise! No more questions :). I appreciate that you have taken the time to offer help to someone else.

    Hi Shannon,

    Glad to be able to help you, as shown below, after being assigned an assignment, students can just click "Turn in" without doing anything, and they can also choose to click "Undo turn in" to cancel the submission.

     

    To help you better understand how the assignment works with the student side, you can contact your school IT admins to create a new student account for you that only for testing, so that you can log into Microsoft Teams as a 'Student' using that account.

    Best Regards,

    Arck
