How-to

Submit a File for an Assignment

For some assignments, you will need to submit a file for grading. The upload process is basically the same as attaching a file, described earlier, but submitting the assignment for grading requires a few important extra steps.

Upload A File to an Assignment

A. Navigate to the appropriate assignment
B. Scroll down to find the "Add submission" button and click it

Add Submissions
C. The File submission window will appear as shown below.
  1. Use the "Add" button to open the "File picker" or drag a file, or files, to the space provided.
  2.  Once the file is uploaded, it will appear in the File submissions section.  You can add additional files as needed.
  3. Once your file upload is complete, select "Save changes."

File Submission Window

Don't stop there!  You haven't submitted the assignment yet.

  • You can submit the assignment now, or return to edit and upload additional files at a later time
  • You can also enter comments that you and the faculty can see
  • Note that once you submit the assignment, you won't have access to edit the files further. If you need to edit an assignment contact vhahi2certhelp@va.gov and request that the assignment be reverted to "Draft" status
  • However, you can ask the faculty or course staff to reopen the assignment for you if needed

NOTE:  Some assignments require additional steps beyond saving changes in order to submit your assignment.

In that case, the Submission status reflects “Draft (not submitted).” You can still edit your submission at this point.

When editing is finished and your submission is final, select “Submit assignment.”

You may also be prompted to confirm your submission. Click "Continue."

Once your file is submitted, the “Submission Status” window will appear and should reflect “Submitted for grading.” Some assignments do not actually require grading. Credit is given once the assignment is submitted.
