Gradescope Notifications

Summary

There are several reasons why students and instructors may receive email messages and notifications from Gradescope. Some of the student notifications can be eliminated by instructors choosing to not use optional settings within Gradescope when adding students to a course and grading an assignment. Instructor regrade notifications can be modified by editing their account settings.

Student Notifications

Depending on how often optional notification settings are chosen, and amount of Gradescope assignments in a course, a student may receive many email notifications during a semester.

Except for online assignments, students receive automated notifications from Gradescope when they successfully submit a homework assignment. There is no way for a student to disable this since these serve as evidence that the file was submitted successfully. The recommended workaround is setting a filter in their email inbox from "no-reply@gradescope.com".

Note: Canvas contains no way of controlling Gradescope notifications.

Faculty Notifications

For faculty, there are regrade request email notification options in the Gradescope account settings. Faculty may choose one of the following:

All Regrade Requests. Receive an email notification for every regrade request.
Only Submissions You've Graded. Receive an email notification for just submissions you have graded.
No Regrade Request Notifications. Don't receive any email notifications for regrade requests.
