Teachers can excuse a student from an assessed activity by giving them an exemption. When exempted, the student’s overall calculation will adjust to ensure they are not put at a disadvantage versus their peers.

When exempting an item, the item won't be:

• included in the overall grade calculation
• marked late for students who don't make a submission
• assigned an automatic zero

Note Students can still make submissions for exempted items. Teachers can grade and provide feedback for these submissions. However, these submissions will still be excluded from the student’s overall grade calculation. Teachers have to remove the exemption for the grade to count toward the student’s overall grade.

1 On the submission record of the target student, click the "Option" icon

2 Select "Add or edit exemptions".

3 Select "Exempt mark".

4 Press the "Save" button to confirm.
