Survey lock - only a few students

My students took the survey yesterday, but in each class 1-3 students couldn’t get into the survey, as if it was locked. Is there a reason why this would happen for just a few students? Since the survey auto-locks after 24 hours, how can they take the survey later? What about students who missed that day of class?

Hi Carol,

That seems very odd! Here are the two scenarios I can think of:

I found that students who used my code.org join link AFTER I had opened the survey (even if I had selected the unlock for ‘all’ option) defaulted to a locked survey. I had to go back in for these students and unlock it specifically for them.

It is also possible that those students are enrolled in a second CSP course (perhaps used as auxiliary material for another class) and that teacher has the survey locked. I don’t know if this is for sure how the logic works behind the scenes, but it might be possible… it seems a little far fetched though, so I’m hoping the issue is the former option!

You can definitely re-open a survey or quiz as needed. Just go to it on the unit dashboard and reopen it for everyone or for those specific students.
