Troubleshooting
I submitted my assignment, but the professor says it's not there.
Check your Saint Peter's email account for the submission receipt email mentioned above. If this does not appear, then you have not properly submitted your assignment, and need to try again.
I submitted the assignment, but the professor says they can't open it.
This typically occurs if you attempt to submit your assignment in 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.
How do I check the grades for my assignments/read comments my professor has left on the assignment?
