Find late submissions for document upload exams

The Learn.UQ Late Submissions Finder tool has been developed to help staff identify any students who submitted their exam after the exam duration.

Note: This tool will only work for document upload exams that use a Blackboard Test to release the question paper and a Blackboard/Turnitin assignment for the submission of the question paper. 

Using the Grade History Report file, Grade Centre file (Turnitin assignments only), dates/times of the assessment release/close and the exam duration, the tool will generate a list of students who may have gone over time or taken too long to complete their exam.

Note: The Learn.UQ Late Submissions Finder tool only provides an indication of students that might have submitted after the exam duration, therefore a manual investigation should still take place.

Download Grade History Report

The Learn.UQ Late Submissions Finder requires you to download a copy of the Grade History Report. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Grade History Report guide. 

Download Grade Centre file (Turnitin assignments only)

For document upload exams that use a Turnitin assignment for the submission of the question paper, the Learn.UQ Late Submissions Finder recommends you download a copy of the Grade Centre. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Download a Spreadsheet from the Grade Centre guide. 

As only full student names are included for Turnitin assignments in the Grade History Report (i.e. no student usernames), it isn't possible to differentiate between students with the same full name. Therefore, by uploading the Grade Centre file (which includes student usernames) in addition to the Grade History Report, the tool will be able to identify whether your course has multiple students with the same name.
