Hello,
I appreciate the Late Submission settings in Gradebook, however I would like more options here. I really need there to be an option for a ONE-TIME late penalty of 50% of what is EARNED on an assignment. This is my class policy and it frustrates students and parents constantly that my policy and what Canvas reflects is not consistent. Just one more option with "hourly" and "daily" would be great!
Thanks for reading!
Since the automatic late policy considers the total grade and not the student's score, what you are asking (Canvas calculate a percentage of the earned score) isn't possible. Alternatively, I recommend that when you are grading late submissions, you award 50 percent of the points you would normally award for the submission and make sure that the late status is indicated on the submission to assist with explaining the score.

Hello @AmandaSHarrison,
This sounds like a great idea. As a workaround, would the Lowest possible grade setting work for you? You would set the Late submission deduction to 50% and Deduction interval to hour. If that is not exactly what you want, you may want to check out this previously submitted idea.
Best,
James
Hello, yes, I have tried those but it does not work. I REALLY want the drop down option to have the option for 1 time deduction. Setting the lowest as 50% does not work because I want the students' scores to reflect half of what they EARNED not half what is possible. The previously submitted idea would also be very helpful.
My school policy is a one time deduction of 5% (5 points). If there was a "One time" deduction option besides daily and hourly that would help. Currently I have it set to 5% deduction, Daily, Lowest possible grade 95%. Therefore a 100% late submission gets 95% but it won't take any % (points) from the students whose grade is 95% or less on a late submission.

I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
A Discussion assignment needs to be able to have more than 2 due dates. A discussion is just that--a back and forth. To be an effective kind of assignment, Instructure needs to modify them so they can have 3 or more due dates. Students also need to be notified when someone posts within their group. Currently, students turn…
This is incredibly frustrating. I use a rubric with imported outcomes to grade my assignments. Each problem is mapped to an outcome, scored on a scale with 4 tiers (the upper 2 tiers granting mastery). For a few of my students—not all—grading a new assignment deletes their earned mastery on an earlier, unrelated…
