How do I change the status of a submission in SpeedGrader?

In the SpeedGrader sidebar, you can edit the submission status for a student's or group's assignment, discussion, or quiz. Available statuses include Late, Missing, Excused, and None.

If a submission status is set to late or missing, the status displays on the student's Grades page. If you do not want status labels displayed on a student's grades page, set the assignment status to None.

Assignments given an excused status are not calculated as part of the student's total grade. When an assignment is excused, the student's Assignment Details page and Grades page display the excused status. Students cannot submit excused assignments.
