Waive an Occurrence

If you created an assignment to be recurring, you can waive an occurrence for a learner at any time. When you waive an occurrence, the learner is exempt from having to do the work for that occurrence and receives a completion date. The learner then gets a new completion date for the next occurrence.

Site Admins can waive an occurrence for any assignment. Learning Admins or Managers with admin permissions can waive an occurrence only on assignments they created or have been given access to manage.

1. From the left navigation bar, select Learning > Assignments. The Assignments page displays.
2. Locate the assignment for which you wish to waive an occurrence.

5. From the Action menu , select Waive occurrence.
6. In the pop up that displays, enter a waived completion date and an reason for waiving the occurrence.
7. Select Yes, waive.
