​Assignments list the name, description, and attachments for class work. Your instructor provides you all the information you need to complete the assignment. You can include comments for your instructor before you submit your work. You may upload files to complete the assignment from your computer or type in the submission area.
Be sure to always follow the instructions given to you by your instructor.
How to Submit an Assignment
- You should be logged into Blackboard. Enter the course of the assignment you wish to submit by clicking its title in the course list.

Assignments.

A new screen will load where you will see instructions, a due date, points possible, an area to type comments, and the ability to attach a file.

Write Submission or click
Browse My Computer to attach your file. Refer to your professor's instructions to see if he or she has a preference of how they would like you to submit your assignments.
