How to submit an assignment

Your instructor has two options of submitting an assignment.  1) Students may be allowed to type into a textbox or 2) Students must create their assignment in MS Word, save the file, then upload to Moodle.   

To type your answer into a textbox 

• Click on the assignment in Moodle.  
• View the assignment instructions along with the submission status and due date for that assignment.
• Select "Add Submission"

• You will see a textbox that allows you to type in your answer.  Type in your answer, click on SAVE CHANGES, and be sure to read the instructions on the screen.  Some instructors may require you to accept the Academic Dishonesty Statement before submitting it.  You will know that your assignment has been accepted for grading when the Status displays, "Submitted for Grading" as shown.
