I understand you’re in a stressful situation with your assignment submission. If you’re having trouble submitting on Canvas and time is running out, here’s what you can do:
1. Try these troubleshooting steps:
-
Clear your browser cache and cookies: This is a very common fix for submission problems. It forces your browser to get the most recent data from Canvas instead of using old, cached data that might be corrupted.
-
Use a different browser: Try using a different web browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Sometimes, browser-specific settings or an outdated version can cause issues.
-
Use an incognito or private window: This will disable most browser extensions and may help bypass a conflict that is preventing your submission.
-
Check your internet connection: Make sure your connection is stable and fast enough to handle the file upload, especially if it's a large file.
2. Regarding alternative submission methods:
-
Canvas is the official platform for submissions, so it's critical to try to get it to work.
-
However, if you can't, your instructor is the only person who can approve a submission outside of Canvas (e.g., via email, a different tool, or in person). Do not assume you can submit it elsewhere without your instructor's permission.
