Important Information for Teachers
For graded materials to display in your students’ Overdue area, all of the following must be true:
- Materials are visible to students. Hidden or unpublished materials do not appear in the Overdue area.
- You have enabled Submissions for Assignments.
- You have not locked Submissions for Assignments.
- You have assigned the course material to a Category.
Course materials must meet these conditions to display in the Overdue area, to trigger Notification emails, or to be included in the Parent Email Digest.
Note: LTI and External Tool materials with due dates do not trigger Overdue Submissions because Schoology does not automatically detect submissions from external tools.

HOW DO STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS RECEIVE OVERDUE NOTIFICATIONS?
Overdue Area
The Overdue area on the right side of the homepage displays a list of materials that they did not turn in on time. It appears for students who have at least one item that they did not submit before the posted due date. Overdue materials are listed from most- to least-overdue, with the most-overdue item at the top.
Note: The Overdue area appears on the homepage only, it cannot be enabled at the course-level.
Overdue Submissions in Courses with Subperiods
If a course is associated to a year-long grading period that contains sub-periods ("1st Semester" and "2nd Semester," for example) and the student does not make a submission to an assignment posted in the first semester, the student will continue to see this item in the Overdue pane going into the second semester. This is because the course is associated to a year-long course with sub-periods and the course has not yet archived.
Notifications Settings
To receive email or text notifications for overdue materials, course members can enable the Course Materials Overdue option in the Notifications area. Select On in the dropdown menu to receive notifications for overdue materials in all your courses, or select Custom and choose the courses for which you want overdue notifications.
Note: While the item may remain in the Overdue pane, students and parents will receive only one notification per late material regardless of how long it remains unsubmitted.
