Assignments: How to Upload a File
File Upload Assignments
For assignments you will need to turn in through Canvas, you will see a "Submit Assignment" button on your assignment page. Submission options will show up below the instructions once you click the Submit Assignment button. One option may be to upload a file (see below). You can upload a file from your computer, or you may also see the options to submit a file from your Google or Office 365 drive. Watch the Canvas Shorts video [00:42] to upload a file as an assignment submission or scroll below for written instructions.
