How do I delete an Assignments submission?

Once a file has been successfully submitted to an assignment, you can't delete it. However, if you have the ability to make another submission, re-submit the file and make sure to also contact your instructor and let them know that you are re-submitting a file to the assignment.
If you don't have the ability to make another submission, contact your instructor and let them know that you would like to re-submit a file to the assignment.

Why are there no assignments available to submit to?

If there are no assignments available to submit to, the instructor has added a start date that has not yet happened and/or an end date that has passed.
Check the due date of the assignment you want to submit. If the assignment is not due yet, check back closer to the due date. Alternatively, if the assignment is late, contact your instructor with any further inquiries relating to late submissions. If you believe that you should have access to the assignment, contact your instructor.

Why am I getting an "Error: Not Authorized" message when trying to access an assignment?

The reason you are getting an "Error: Not Authorized" message when trying to access an assignment is because the link to the assignment is available in the Content tool module area but the assignment has been closed. Contact your instructor for further help with accessing this assignment.

Why am I getting an "Error: Not Authorized" message when trying to access an assignment from the Content area?

Access the Assignments area of your unit and check if the folder in question is visible or if it has date restrictions in place. If date restrictions are on the folder you will only have access between the start date and the end date that appears. If the folder is not visible at all in the Assignments area, it may have been hidden or it does not exist. If this is the case, contact your instructor for clarification on where they would like you to upload your completed assignments.
