Submitting to an assignment

  1. Log in to your university's Learning Management System (e.g., Blackboard or Moodle) the way you normally do.
  2. Navigate to your course and list of assignments. Launch the assignment you'd like to submit. Once your assignment opens, you will see a header with your assignment title along with the other assignment info.
  3. Double check that the file you want to submit is an approved file type and size. Then, upload your submission to the assignment in one of two ways:

    1. Drag your submission into the white space near the paper icon on your screen OR

    2. Click the My Computer button on your screen to select your submission from your computer.

  4. Once the submission has been uploaded, you will see an image of it on your screen. If you would like to, you can change the file name of your submission in the space above the image of your submission. If your file is multiple pages, you can use the arrows to the right of your file name to scroll through each page.
  5. When you're finished, you must click the Submit File button so your instructor can review and grade your work.
  6. If your file was submitted successfully, you will see the following on your screen:
    1. Green "Success!" message
    2. Clickable submission tile with the image of your submission in it
    If your file was not submitted successfully, (don't worry!) an error message will pop up on your screen to tell you why and how to fix it.
