Resubmitting an assignment

Some assignments may allow students the ability to overwrite their previous submissions until an assignment's due date.

  • This option is activated by an instructor on an assignment-by-assignment basis.

    • If resubmissions are not enabled, your instructor must manually delete your previous submission to allow you user to submit your second file.

Info
  • If resubmissions have been enabled or an instructor has deleted your first submission, resubmitting a paper is handled in an identical manner as a first-time submission.

  • You are allowed three resubmission attempts where the Similarity Report will generate immediately. After three attempts, you'll have to wait 24 hours before a new Similarity Report can be generated.

If you have already submitted the assignment, your dashboard will look similar to the image below:

  • To the far right, the icon below the Similarity heading will have your similarity report if applicable

  • The up arrow icon is a button to resubmit your assignment

  • The down arrow icon is a button to download your assignment

  • The furthest icon, a square with lines, is to download your assignment receipt
