What notifications can I get when I submit a test or quiz?
Below are screen shots with examples of the email notifications you can receive from Tests & Quizzes. The notifications correspond to the ways in which an assessment can be submitted:
- Manual submission: You select Submit for Grading on the Assessment Submission Warning screen to confirm submitting an assessment.
- Timer submission: The timer expires on a timed assessment and automatically submits the assessment for you.
- Automatic submission: You can get an automatic submission if your instructor has enabled the Autosubmit feature for the assessment. You save content in the assessment, and exit the assessment before it is due. The saved assessment is automatically submitted at the latest submission date provided no other attempt has been submitted.

All Tests & Quizzes email notifications contain the following:
- The title of the site where the assessment was taken,
- The title of the assessment,
