Submit Assignment in WebCT

The assignment tool may be used by an instructor to create assignments with a submission requirement. Rather than using e-mail for submission, this tool allows the student to submit the assignment within a WebCT course.

DISPLAY OPTIONS

There are several methods for viewing the assignments that are associated with the course.

DISPLAYING ASSIGNMENTS BY STATUS

From Assignments, from the Display drop-down list, select the status by which you want to display assignments:

• To display all assignments, select All assignments and click Go.
• To display all available assignments, select All available assignments and click Go.
• To display all assignments that have a due date within 48 hours or less, select All assignments that are due soon and click Go.
• To display all late assignments, select All late assignments and click Go.

VIEWING ASSIGNMENTS

• From Assignments, click the name of the assignment you want to view. The Assignment screen for that assignment appears. Note: If your instructor has created a hyperlink to an assignment file, a new screen opens displaying the page.
• If your instructor has included assignment-related files for you to download, an Assignment files table appears listing those files.

SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS

Instructors can allow late assignment submissions, with an unlimited cutoff date for submission, or with a specific cutoff date.

• If the instructor has allowed unlimited late submissions, after the due date you will see 'Late' next to the assignment, but the assignment will continue to be available to you.
• If the instructor has allowed limited late submissions, you will see 'Late' next to the assignment, and the assignment will continue to be available to you until the specified cutoff date has been reached. At that point, you will no longer be able to access the assignment.

Steps for submitting a late assignment are the same as those for any other assignment. Instructors can also enable multiple submissions of an assignment. If this feature has been enabled, you will be able to retrieve your assignment if the due date of the assignment has not passed and the assignment has not yet been graded. (See: Retrieving an assignment for resubmission).

TO SUBMIT AN ASSIGNMENT

Submitting an assignment involves two steps:

1. Upload the file from your computer to WebCT.
2. Submit the file for grading.

Uploading files

1. From Assignments, click the assignment that you want to submit. The Assignment screen appears.
2. To upload the file, under Student files, click Upload file. The Upload File for Assignment screen appears.
3. To locate the file, click Browse to open your computer's file browser.
4. Select the file. The Upload File for Assignment screen reappears, with the path and filename displayed in the Filename text box.
5. Click Upload. The Assignment screen appears and the uploaded file is added to the Student files table.

Removing uploaded files

1. Next to each file you want to remove, select the check box and click Remove files. A confirmation message appears.
2. Click OK. The file is removed.

Submitting files for grading

If your instructor has enabled WebCT's e-mail notification feature, you can receive e-mail notification that your assignment was submitted successfully. Type your e-mail address into the text box. Note: If your instructor has not enabled the e-mail notification feature, this text box will not appear.

1. To submit the uploaded assignment(s), under Submit Assignment, click Submit assignment. The Submit Assignment screen appears. Notes: All assignments in the Student files table are submitted. Depending on administrator settings, you may be able to receive e-mail notification that your assignment was submitted successfully. If applicable, enter your Concordia e-mail address in the text box.
2. Click Submit assignment. A confirmation screen appears.
3. Click OK. The Assignments screen reappears, with Submitted displayed in the Status column. When the assignment has been graded, Submitted changes to Graded and your grade appears in the Grade column. Click Graded to view your instructor's comments about your work.

Notes:

• Filenames can contain any of the following: a–z, A–Z, 0–9, spaces, _, &, ( ), –, ., and ~. The tilde (~) cannot be used as the first character in the filename.
• You should also add the file extension that corresponds to the software you used. For example, if you completed your assignment in Excel, add .xls to the filename if the software program doesn't automatically add it.
