Assignments
You will use the Assignment Submission Folders to upload and submit assignments to your
instructor online. You will see a list outlining the folders available, as well as submission and
feedback information. This is the area in which your instructor retrieves your submitted files,
grades them and gives you feedback which is then viewable.
File Requirements
Each course will have specific requirements for submission of file(s), such as:
• Number of submissions allowed.
• Number of files allowed.
• How assignments are named (for example: Assign1Joan SmithIBA.docx).
• Formatting: spacing (double or single-spaced), font sizes, number of words, etc.
• File types (MS Word, Excel or PDF documents).
You must retain a copy of each assignment. If you make any mistakes and submit the wrong
file(s), please contact Program Staff immediately.
Some courses have the submission box built right into the content.
