What information is in a Tests & Quizzes email notification?

Below are screen shots with examples of the email notifications you'll receive if you've selected to receive email for submissions from Tests & Quizzes. There are several types of notifications corresponding to the different ways in which an assessment can be submitted:

  1. Manual submission: A student clicks the Submit for Grading button on the Assessment Submission Warning screen to confirm submitting an assessment.
  2. Timer submission: The timer expires on a timed assessment and automatically submits the assessment for the student.

Content of All Notifications

  • A submission ID for the assessment
  • The date the assessment was submitted
  • A confirmation number for the submission (This confirmation number also displays on the submission confirmation screen after a student submits an assessment.)
