Once you have submitted your work, your submission details will be displayed at the top of the page, including the ability to view or download the successfully submitted assignment. Note that intermittent internet connectivity issues may cause upload failures, even if the 'Submitted!' message appears. In such cases, please re-submit the assignment (see below).

At times, you may need to re-submit your assignment, for example if you have uploaded the wrong file, or if you are told your work is unsuitable for grading due to formatting issues. To do this, click New Attempt on the assignment submission page as shown above. The upload process is the same as for your initial submission. The current attempt number will be shown in the Attempt drop-down, and you will have the option to Cancel Attempt or Submit Assignment.

PLEASE NOTE 

So that you have the most up-to-date version of your assignment we advise you to download each assignment only when you are ready to complete it. Downloading all assignments at the beginning of your course risks working from out-of-date versions of the assignment.

Tutors will post an Announcement if an assignment has changed, so please check Canvas regularly to see if any have been updated.

You can also see details about your assignment and links to additional feedback in the Gradebook by clicking on Grades  in the left menu bar. 

We ask that you do not re-submit an assignment once it has been marked. Once you have had your marked assignment returned you will be able to access the Mark Scheme and/or a Specimen Answer.
