Assignment Extensions

API for setting extensions on student assignment submissions. These cannot be set for discussion assignments or quizzes. For quizzes, use Quiz Extensions instead.

An AssignmentExtension object looks like:

{
  // The ID of the Assignment the extension belongs to.
  "assignment_id": 2,
  // The ID of the Student that needs the assignment extension.
  "user_id": 3,
  // Number of times the student is allowed to re-submit the assignment
  "extra_attempts": 2
}
