What should I do if I have problems submitting my assignment?

Modified on Tue, 7 Jul at 4:30 PM

If you are having trouble submitting an assignment, work through the steps below before contacting support.



1. Check the Due Date and Time

Assignment deadlines are set at 11:59 PM Eastern Time (ET). If the deadline has already passed, the late submission policy applies for up to five days after the due date.


Note that the late submission policy does not apply to Module 1 assignments. If you have missed the Module 1 deadline, contact your Success Advisor immediately.



2. Check Your Internet Connection

A stable connection is required to upload submissions successfully. Your internet speed should be at least 3 Mbps. Once you begin uploading, wait until the submission reaches 100% before navigating away from the page—leaving early may result in an incomplete submission.



3. Clear Your Browser Cache

If your submission is failing despite a stable connection, try the following:

  • Clear your browser's cache, cookies, and history, then reload Canvas
  • Open Canvas in an incognito or private browsing window
  • Try a different browser if the issue persists



Still Having Issues?

If none of the steps above resolve the problem, submit a support request and select Course Issue as the issue type. Include details about the error you are experiencing, your browser, and your operating system to help the team resolve it quickly.
