Submitting work in Canvas LMS is straightforward once you know where Assignments live and how confirmation works.
Submit on the web
- Log in and open the course from your Dashboard.
- Go to Assignments (or open the item from Modules / To-Do).
- Select the assignment title, then Submit Assignment.
- Choose File Upload, Text Entry, URL, or the method your teacher enabled.
- Upload or paste your work and click Submit. Wait for the confirmation timestamp.
Submit in the Canvas Student app
Open the course → Assignments → the item → Submit. Grant photo/file permissions if the app asks. Large files are often easier on a computer.
After you submit
- Check the submission details page for file name and time.
- Watch Grades for scores and SpeedGrader comments later.
- Resubmit only if the teacher allows multiple attempts.
