The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the steps for setting assignment due dates and activity completion requirements.

The Moodle course page can display Due Dates and Activity Completion Conditions (“Mark as done” button) on the course page. It is easy to disable one or both settings.

You can prevent the information from showing if you feel it clutters up your course page. It will continue to be available on the individual activity pages.

Example of how the information appears on the course main page:

Some resources will not be affected by the update made to the settings. They will continue to show the “Mark as done” button. Examples: PDF, Docx

Click on settings.

Appearance section:

Change Show activity dates to No if you don’t want students to see the due dates on the course main page.

Completion tracking section:

Change Show activity completion conditions to No if you don’t want students to see completion buttons such as Mark as done.

Student Perspective of a Quiz activity and Assignment activity

Even after activity dates and activity completion conditions are turned off, students will still see the dates/completion conditions once they click into the activity.
