You can find the assignment you need to submit to by referring to the module code, assignment title, and submission date.


The Assignment Overview page

You can upload files by either dragging and dropping them into the “Drop files here or press to upload” zone or by simply selecting the same area to browse your computer’s files.

If more files are allowed or expected they will have their own drop box area.

Required files are denoted with an asterisk (*) below their title. You will not be able to continue until all mandatory files have been received.

After your file(s) are received, their titles will be displayed and selectable for downloading. You can also use the delete button to change your file before finalising your submission.

Select the check box to confirm that you are happy that you have uploaded the correct file(s) and you will be taken to the next step.

Before you select the “Finalise Submission” button, it’s a good idea to double-check the files you’ve uploaded. Occasionally, files converted to Microsoft Office formats (From Pages, Open Office, Libre Office etc) may become corrupted during conversion. Make sure they can be opened on Windows or Mac computers with MS Office products.

If you don’t have access to Windows or Mac PCs, you can use the University’s Virtual Environment for compatibility testing.

Taking a moment to ensure file compatibility can help avoid potential issues.

The previous steps are still available before finalising, to view their contents select the plus symbol (+).

Pressing the button titled “Finalise Submission” will complete the submission process for this assignment.

You will be shown confirmation that the submission has been received.

How to re-submit in eAssignments

Re-submissions are only accessible if this feature has been enabled explicitly for individual assignments. You can contact student services through the student Hub if you have any questions about this.

On the “Upcoming/Open” tab of the “My Assignments” page you will find a table displaying all the assignments assigned to you that are currently open, possible to re-submit to and have not yet reached their submission deadline.

Locate the assignment and look for and select the Re-Submit button in the State column.

Select the button titled “Re-Open for resubmission”.

Note the message at the top of the screen.

When your submission is reopened, it stays unfinalised until you complete the finalisation process once more. It is crucial to remember that failing to finalise your submission will result in the assignment not being considered as submitted.

You can now delete and replace any files that you wish to re-submit.

When you’re ready, select the plus symbol (+) in the “Finalise Submissions” section to display the “Finalise Submission” button. Press the button to finalise your submission.
