Set Release Conditions for an Assignment

Release conditions allow you to set requirements for access to an assignment folder based on multiple criteria, including completion of other items in D2L. For example, you can require that students visit a set of lecture notes in the Content tool before they can submit work to an assignment folder. Alternatively, you can make submission to the assignment folder a condition for accessing another item, such as a quiz.
