Assignment Submission (Classic)

Beneath the assignment information you'll find the submission space.

In some cases, your professor may indicate that you can write your submission directly into Blackboard's assignment page. To do this, click the WRITE SUBMISSION button to reveal the submission input box.

If you are going to be spending more than a few minutes writing your submission, we strongly recommend you do your writing offline, in Word. If you have been instructed to put your response directly into the WRITE SUBMISSION box, you can copy from Word and paste into this box.

Upload a File

Most often, your professor will want you to attach one or more files. To do this, click the BROWSE LOCAL FILES button under Attach Files, locate the file or files you which to attach, and click OPEN to attach them.

If the assignment is using SafeAssign, you will need to check the box next to the agreement statement to submit your assignment.

Comments

The comments space is an optional space you can use to add a note to your professor to accompany your assignment. Text put in the comments space is not a part of the assignment submission, but supplemental to it. Think of it as something you might say to your professor as you hand in an assignment.
