INSTRUCTIONS Submitting an Assignment

Submitting an assignment for students is very similar to adding an attachment to an

email. To start go to the home page for the course where the assignment is located. In

this example, the assignment is located in Content area.

From the course’s home page, click on Content in the sidebar on the left. Once on

the Content Page scroll down until you find the Assignment you would like to

work on and click on it.

In the first box, there will be Assignment Information where you can find the name of

the assignment, instructions, due dates and possible points.

The second box is Assignment

Materials. This is where you will

complete the actual assignment.

There are two options for submitting

your work. The assignment can be

typed directly into the text

editing box or attached as a file.

To attach a file, click the Browse for Local File button. A File Upload box will appear.

Find the file you would like to attach and select it. Then click the Open button.

You should now have your file listed

next to File Name. If this is the

correct document, click Attach

File, if not then click Do not attach

and find the correct file.
