APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Represents a task or unit of work assigned to a student or team member in a class as part of their study.

Assignments contain handouts and tasks that the teacher wants the student to work on. Each student assignment has an associated submission that contains any work their teacher asked to be turned in. Only teachers or team owners can create assignments. A teacher can add scores and feedback to the submission turned in by the student.

When an assignment is created, it is in a draft state. Students can't see the assignment, and submissions aren't created. You can change the status of an assignment by using the publish action. You can't use a PATCH request to change the assignment status.

The assignment APIs are exposed in the class namespace.

Inherits from entity.
