    Start Date
    The Start Date defines the earliest time a student can make a submission to the assignment part.

    Due Date
    This is the final date by which the student should have submitted their assignment. If Late Submissions is enabled then submissions made after the due date will be marked as late.

    Post Date
    This is the date when marks/grades will be made available to students. If anonymous marking is enabled (UK only) this is also the date when marks/grades will be shown to tutors in the Grade centre. (They will, however, appear in the assignment’s Submissions Inbox as soon as they are graded, as the student name remains anonymous until the Post Date.)
