Introduction

You can disable the automatic zeros setting at any time - but before you do, here are some details about this setting that are worth reviewing quickly to ensure you would like to go forward:

By default, Ultra courses assign zeros to missing work past the due date. Students and groups can still submit work after an automatic zero is assigned. Then, you can grade as normal.

Having this setting enabled means you don't have to go through your gradebook to manually assign zeros. The automatic zeros setting applies to the following graded items:

Assignments and group assignments
Tests and group tests
Graded individual and group discussions

The automatic zeros setting doesn't apply when you collect submissions offline. You manually create the student attempts and submission dates and times.
