Within a week of your End-of-Research Deadline, you will be able to release the End-of-Research assessments. You will need to fill out the End-of-Research Assessment for each student in order to advance each student to Step 9.

For each assessment has been submitted, Step 8 will appear as complete on your dashboard view, and the student will receive an email prompt to fill out their assessment.
If you need to reset the End-of-Research Deadline before it is reached, you can revisit the Deadline Dates in your dashboard and adjust the date.
