Assignments

You can submit online Assignments in Canvas through several different ways. Instructors can choose what kind of online submissions they wish to allow. They may also give you the option to resubmit assignments.

To access an Assignment, go to the desired course and click on the Assignments link on the left-hand side (you can also access assignments via the Calendar, the Syllabus, your To-List, or a Module, if your professor is using Modules).

Click on the assignment name.

The assignment may include information on the due date (1), point value (2), and what you are allowed to submit (3). If the Submitting section says "No Submission" or "On Paper", your professor wants you to turn in the assignment in class.

It may also have information on the types of files you can upload (4) and when the assignment submission is available from and to (5).

To submit an assignment, click on "Submit Assignment" in the top right hand corner (6).

Click Browse and open the document saved on your computer.

Click Submit Assignment once more.

If the submission was successful, you will see a Submitted! in the top right-hand corner [1]. It will also have a time and date stamp on it. The Submit Assignment button will now say Re-submit Assignment [2].

Submitted

You can also check to see if an assignment was submitted in the Canvas app on an iOS device and an Android device.

Important Note: If you have created a file on an Apple device in Pages, you should not submit that file to Canvas. It is not a supported file type and your instructor will not be able to see it. Instead, you must first convert that file into a Word document (.doc or .docx), a PDF (.pdf), or a Rich Text Format (.rtf). Follow these instructions to convert the file. You can also use a site like Zamzar to convert your file before uploading it to Canvas.
