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".

• All Regrade Requests - Receive an email notification for every regrade request.
• Only Submissions You've Graded - Receive an email notification for just submissions you have graded.
• No Regrade Request Notifications - Don't receive any email notifications for regrade requests.
