Submit Moodle Assignment guide

This guide will explain how to submit assignments in Moodle.

Time required to submit your assignment

It can take time for your file to be uploaded to Moodle and for it to be processed by Turnitin. This can be anywhere from a couple of minutes to up to 30 minutes per file, depending on the size and format of your file and your connection speed. Ensure you leave yourself adequate time to successfully submit your assignment, especially if you are submitting multiple large files.

Delete and replace coursework submission

If you delete an assignment submission, it is your responsibility to ensure that you then submit the correct file before the deadline. Your lecturer will be able to see if you have deleted an assignment but will not be able to access the file and it will not be counted as a submission. If you have uploaded the wrong file as part of your assignment you will be able to delete the file prior to the assignment deadline (unless the Submit assignment button has been enabled)

  1. Select the Assignment title from the relevant section on the module homepage
    • Select the link to Assignments from the Module Dashboard to open a list of all your Moodle assignments. Select the relevant assignment to open it.
    • On Grid format, open the Block drawer and navigate to the Activities block, select the link to Assignments.

  3. Select Remove submission beneath the assignment description. 
  4. Select Continue on the confirmation pop-up.
