Gradescope has a range of administrative functions to improve assessment workflows.

Submit on behalf of a student

If it is necessary to submit a paper on behalf of the student, click on the relevant assignment title, then Manage Submissions from the left hand menu. From the green toolbar at the bottom of the page, select Upload Submission. Note that you can only do this if anonymous marking has been turned off.

Use the dropdown menu to select the student you’d like to submit work on behalf of, or search for their name. Click select file and add the file you’d like to upload. Click Upload.

You can also complete a response to an Online Assignment on behalf of a student. From Manage Submission in the left hand menu, there will be an option on the green tool bar at the bottom of the screen for a New Submission.

When this is clicked, the paper will launch along with the option to choose a student at the top of the screen. Use the dropdown menu, or search for the relevant student.

Continue to add responses to the exam, clicking Save Answer after each addition. Click Submit & View Submission at the end of the paper.
