You can download an accessible PDF version of this answer at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, watch the screencast overview of these instructions on Panopto.

Before submitting your work, always make sure you identified the correct submission type.

• Go to the submission portal, in the My Assignments section of the module page, and open the assignment you wish to change
• Choose either:
• Edit submission – to change one element of the submission
• Remove submission – deletes all the files associated with your submission (not recommended)

• Review your submission, you can update the files selected for submission and the assignment length

• To replace a file, select the thumbnail or filename of the file you want to change

• In the following window, select “delete”. Note that you can also download a file if you do not have another copy. It is your responsibility to keep a back-up of any submitted work.

• To add a new file: locate it on your device, then drag and drop it into the file submission area

• You must wait until your file has fully uploaded before you can resubmit the assignment

• Once you see a new file thumbnail, your upload is complete
• Re-check the declaration, confirm your files are correct, and update the assignment length if required. Then save changes to re-submit your modified submission.

• You will return to the submission status screen, where you can review your updated submission

If you wish to change your submission after the assignment deadline, you must complete the Submission Portal Unlock Form. Once your submission is unlocked, you can resubmit for up to 7 days after your deadline; be aware your work will be subject to a late penalty.

The above also applies if you have an extension granted by student support or approved additional consideration, and you want to change your submission after your extended deadline.
