BEFORE UPLOADING FROM YOUR COMPUTER OR MOBILE DEVICE

Please check the following boxes before submitting your work:

☑️only one file is being submitted

☑️if uploading from your computer or mobile device the file size is under 500MB

If any of the above requirements are not met, you may have trouble uploading to Canvas. If may also make it unsuitable for marking and you shall be asked to reformat it and resubmit – which will unfortunately lead to a delay in receiving feedback.
