Deleting Assignments

Adrian Rodriguez

Hi Everyone. Is anyone running into any issues deleting assignments? We had a teacher create a test assignment with no grades or comments inputted. However, when trying to delete it, it indicates “We cannot let you delete this assignment! Grades have been recorded for the following course sections.” There are in fact no grades at all recorded…am I alone on this one? Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Hi--We had the same problem so I chatted with Blackbaud about it last week. If there are any grades and you delete them, you must press the commit button so that no grades show in the assignment. There isn't a delete assignment button in the gradebook. You must go to the assignment center where you edit assignments and you should find the delete assignment link.

Thank you, that worked! I have to admit that it isn't very intuitive on Blackbaud's part, but it worked! Have a great day

I've confirmed that all grades, comments, etc have been removed from an assignment, but it still refuses to allow me to delete the assignment? Any other suggestions?
