How to delete a student’s attempt in an assessment

When Would You Want to Do This?

You might need to delete a student’s attempt if:

• There is a limited number of attempts, but something went wrong with the student’s submission.
• You want to allow the student to retake the assessment.

⚠ Note: Deleting an attempt is permanent, and you will no longer be able to view the student’s answers.

Steps to Delete a Student’s Attempt

1. Open the assessment and navigate to the response view.
2. Find the student whose attempt you want to delete.
3. Click on the ❌ (delete) icon next to their attempt.
4. Confirm by clicking "Yes" to finalize the deletion.

After this, the student can take the assessment again if allowed.

⚠ Note: Please check that the assessment is still available to them in the case that you also have set a deadline. If the deadline has passed, you must edit the deadline too for that assessment to be available.
