Troubleshooting

I submitted my assignment, but the professor says it's not there.

Check your Saint Peter's email account for your submission receipt email. If this does not appear, then you have not properly submitted your assignment, and will need to try again. You can check to make sure an assessment submitted successfully on the Course Content page, by selecting the assessment link. A panel appears with the date and time you made the submission. Not graded appears until your instructor grades the assessment.

I submitted the assignment, but the professor says they can't open it.

This typically occurs if you attempt to upload your assignment file(s) using a file format other than DOCX, DOC, PPT, PPTX, PDF, TXT, ODT, RTF, HTML, or HTM. If you do not have a program that allows you to save in one of these formats, we advise you to log into Google Docs, paste your document into a new file, and download it in one of the accepted formats listed above.

I submitted the assignment but it appears blank.

This typically happens if you navigate away from the page or lose your Internet connection while your submission is being sent. Try to submit the assignment again, and if you can't, please reach out to your professor and explain what happened and ask them to reopen it so you can resubmit the assignment.
