  3. On the Upload Assignment page, download any files provided by your professor or instructor and complete the assignment using one or both of the following:
    • In the Submission box, type your response. The Text Editor functions may be used to format the text and include files, images, external links, multimedia, or Mashups.
    • If your response to the assignment is in a separate file, click Browse My Computer and select a file to attach. 

      Note: The “Do not attach” option appears next to an uploaded file. If you have selected an incorrect file, you can remove it with this option. 
  4. Optionally, comments may be entered, via the Comments box.

    Note: If your professor or instructor has not allowed multiple attempts, assignments can be submitted only once. Ensure that you have attached any required files to your assignment before you click Submit.
