Quizzes - Submit an In Progress Quiz Attempt

The purpose of this document is to explain how to submit a student’s in progress quiz attempt.  A quiz can get stuck “In Progress” if a student closes their browser without submitting.  If the quiz access closes or the quiz timer runs out, a student may not be able to get back in to submit their work.  In such cases, it is usually easiest for the instructor to force submit the quiz for the student.
