To view your assignments, you can either click on the link to the assignment in the module, or go to the “Assignments” tab in the course navigation menu. The assignments page is organized by assignment date, with Overdue assignments at the top, then Upcoming assignments, Undated assignments, and Past assignments.
Select an assignment to view it. Once you’re on the assignment page, take a look at the assignment details. The due date, number of points, and submission type will all appear in the line under the title.
Once the Upload button is highlighted, you will be given the choice to either drag a file from your computer over the rocket ship icon, or choose to upload your assignment from your computer or Canvas Files using the button on the right side of the screen. When you select your file and attach it, the file selected will be featured and the Blue "Submit Assignment" button will be active.
When you’re ready to submit your assignment, click the blue “Submit Assignment” button in the lower right corner of the assignment page. The upload box that comes up will look slightly different depending on the type of assignment. If you’re having trouble with a specific submission type, reference the help sheets below for more information.

Once you have either uploaded or completed the assignment (depending on submission type), you can add comments to your teacher in the “Comments” text box. When you are ready, click on the blue “Submit Assignment” button. When the assignment has been submitted successfully, you will see a new window display with confetti signifying that the assignment was successfully submitted. You can review what was submitted on that page directly.
