Hi @tcheatham9049 
Canvas provides teachers with considerable flexibility in how they can have students submit assignments, and you have asked your question in a global community of Canvas users who only have access to their own courses, and would not be able to troubleshoot your specific use. Just as it is with a traditional course, the first person you should be asking this question is your teacher, and you can learn how to do that at How do I send a message to a user in a course in the Inbox as a student?
However, here are some links to some guides that you might also find useful. Pick the one that most closely matches what your teacher has asked for...........
- How do I submit a text entry assignment?
- How do I enter a URL as an assignment submission?
- How do I submit a media file as an assignment submission?
- How do I submit an online assignment?
- How do I upload a file as an assignment submission in Canvas?
- How do I upload a file from Google Drive as an assignment submission in Canvas?
- How do I submit a cloud assignment with Google Drive?
- How do I upload a file from Microsoft Office 365 as an assignment submission?
- How do I submit a cloud assignment with Microsoft Office 365?
As you can see, your teachers have lots of choices in how they use the Canvas Assignment feature, but don't let this long list daunt you - most teachers have a favorite and stick to it.
Also, you might find Canvas user support at your own school. I did find a useful Distance Learning page on Chaffey College's website that might be helpful. It even includes an email link for assistance OnlineEd@chaffey.edu
Good luck,
Kelley
