# Assign automatic zeros

This function is used to automatically give a student 0 marks when they did not submit on the due date.

Decision

Decide if you want to use automatic zeros or not. The advantage of using automatic zeros is that the student will at any stage during their studies be able to measure their real-time progress in terms of their marks accumulated.

Take note

Automatic zeroes are only applied to students with an enabled course enrollment.
