When submitting assignments in Moodle, keep in mind that if you are inactive in Moodle for too long, your session will time out, and you’ll need to log in again.

Before you upload an assignment file, ensure that:

  • all files are in formats that the readers will be able to access
  • the filename observes any naming conventions that are current for your course.

Submit a file upload assignment

Step by step instructions
  1. On the course home page, click the assignment name.



  2. On the Submission status page, click Add submission.



  3. On the Edit submission page:
      • Read the appropriate declaration, depending on whether this is an individual or a group submission, then select the check box above the declarations.
      • (For a combined online text and file upload assignment, you would paste in or enter text under Online text at this point.)

  • Note: Your teacher may have specified the types of files you can upload to the assignment. If the file types have been restricted, you can view a message telling you which file formats are accepted.
