Before an assignment can be viewed or submitted, there are certain requirements and prerequisites which must be met. This is to help ensure you progress through the course in the correct order and at an appropriate pace. For all courses, each assignment will appear locked until the previous assignment has been graded. There may be other additional requirements for unlocking assignments, which can vary between courses. If a module contains a quiz, this will need to be completed with a score of at least 1 point. On some courses it may be necessary to view the pages preceding an assignment, or mark them as done.

If an assignment appears locked and you are unsure why, you can check by clicking on Assignments in the left-hand navigation menu. When you select an assignment here, if it is locked you will see if there are any prerequisites.

On language courses where each module has two assignments (A and B), Assignment A must be viewed in order to unlock Assignment B.
