Start, revise & submit assignments

To start your assignment, you first need to link your Google Account to Assignments. You can then open your assignment and, when you are finished, submit it for grading. If you edit your work before the due date, you can resubmit your assignment.

You can attach any file type from Google Drive or your hard drive to your assignment, including:

• Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides
• Microsoft ®️ Word ®️ , Excel ®️ , or PowerPoint ®️
• Image files
• Video files (WEBM, MPEG4, 3GPP, MOV, AVI, MPEG-PS, WMV, FLV, OGG)

Assignments automatically converts Microsoft Office ®️ files to Google Docs, then saves the files to the Assignments folder in your Google Drive.

Complete an assignment

Link your google account to assignments for the course.

The first time you use Google Assignments in a course, you link the Google Account you want to use with that course with your LMS account. 

Linking your Google Account to Assignments allows it to:

• Access your Google Drive to attach files to your assignments.
• Archive copies of your submissions.
• Create an Assignments folder in your Drive that organizes files by course and assignment.

To link your account:

• Go to your LMS.
• Open the assignment.
• Sign in with your Google Account.
• If it's your first time using Assignments for the course, link your Google Account to the course.  

Attach files to an assignment

Important: If your assignment is set up to grade with your LMS’s grader tool, there’s a 10 MB size limit per file.

You can attach up to 20 files to your assignment. 

• To upload a new file, click Create and select a file type.

Turn in an assignment

• When you turn in an assignment, a copy is saved to your Google Drive in the Assignments folder.
• Ownership of your original file transfers to your instructor when it is graded and you can't edit your file.
• You regain ownership of your file when your instructor returns your work.
• You will never lose ownership of your files.
• Work that has been submitted to the instructor is not unsubmitted.
• The instructor sees a time stamp of the most recent submission.

After your instructor grades and returns your work, you regain ownership of your file. 

Note : If you resubmit files, the instructor sees a time stamp of the most recent submission.

Unsubmit an assignment

Important:  This only applies to assignments graded with Google Assignments.

If your assignment has a due date, you can unsubmit your work before the due date. Be sure to resubmit your work before the due date, so it’s not marked late. After the due date, you can’t unsubmit your work. 

If your assignment doesn’t have a due date, you can unsubmit your work at any time. Be sure to check with your instructor for specific requirements.

• Open your assignment.
