Student Notifications

Depending on how often optional notification settings are chosen, and amount of Gradescope assignments in a course, a student may receive many email notifications during a semester.

Except for online assignments, students receive automated notifications from Gradescope when they successfully submit a homework assignment. There is no way for a student to disable this since these serve as evidence that the file was submitted successfully. The recommended workaround is setting a filter in their email inbox from "no-reply@gradescope.com".
