Learn how to use Mastery

To create a more consistent and user-friendly student experience in WebAssign, we've redesigned the submit and action buttons within assignments. These updated buttons replace the previously inconsistent designs, providing a more uniform and streamlined appearance across all assignments. 

As a result of overwhelming requests from our instructors, we've improved extensions in WebAssign for better usability and flexibility for instructors.

Key benefits & changes:

• Better Usability: We've simplified the language and layout of extensions to make it clear how long students will have to request an extension after the due date, as well as the extension length.
• More Flexibility: You can now allow students to request extensions beyond 14 days — until the end of class.
