There are 2 important ways to make sure that your instructor will receive your assignment:

Use appropriate file names.

When submitting documents (whether uploading a document to the dropbox or attaching a file to a discussion post), use only letters and numbers (no symbols such as %, &, ", or ') in file names.

Complete all steps of the process.

When using the dropbox to submit assignments, always make sure you see the File Submission Successful message on screen before leaving the dropbox area. When using the dropbox, you will first locate the all files you wish to submit, then upload them, and finally, submit them.

In the upper left scarlet navigation bar, there is a Dropbox link. Click it. On this page you will see a list of Assignment titles followed by "Deadline: date," if assignments can be submitted, or "Opens: date," if they cannot. If there are no deadline restrictions, there may be no date at all. The Assignment title will be linked if submissions can be made.

You can view all assignments submitted to each dropbox. Go to Dropbox and click the assignment title you wish to view. In the Drop Off Files window, click the History button, lower left. In the Dropoff History window you will see a list of the assignments you've submitted as well as your Comments and Submitted (date and time).

No, but you can edit an assignment and then resubmit it. Be sure to include some indication that the assignment has been edited in the title line, for example "edited assignment 2" or "resubmission of assignment 2."

Use the Dropbox to submit assignments online by uploading files to folders where your instructor can pick them up and post feedback.
