"I can’t submit my activity"

This article helps Students who can't submit an activity in Student Learning & Licensure. It covers a missing Submit or Save button, a grayed-out Submit button, an error when clicking Submit, and an activity you can't find.

Check the activity's status first

The status shown on the activity tells you what you can do.

• Awaiting Submission: You can submit the activity. You can still submit after the due date.
• Awaiting Assessment: Your work has already been submitted and is waiting for assessment, or the activity doesn't require a student submission.
• Done: The activity is complete.

I don't see a Submit or Save button

If you see the activity but there is no Submit or Save button when you open it, the activity is one of the following:

• Awaiting Assessment. You already submitted, or an Instructor submitted it for you, or the activity doesn't require a Student submission.
• Done.
• Not open for submission yet. The activity has an Open for Submission date and time. You can submit once it passes.

Passing the due date does not remove the Submit button. You can still submit after the due date, but you can't withdraw your submission.

The Submit button is grayed out

A grayed-out Submit button usually means your institution set up the activity to return grades to your Learning Management System (LMS), such as Blackboard, Brightspace D2L, Canvas, or Moodle. When Grade Return is on, you must open the activity from your LMS. If you sign in directly to Student Learning & Licensure, the Submit button is grayed out. 

1. Log into your LMS (not directly into Student Learning & Licensure). 
2. Go to your course and click the assignment link for the activity. This opens the activity submission page in Student Learning & Licensure.
3. Click Submit.

If the assignment link is missing or doesn't work, contact your course Instructor or the administrator at your institution. 

I get an error when I click Submit

An error when you click Submit typically means you haven't completed all required components in the activity. Review the entire activity, complete every required component, and click Submit again.

My activity says Awaiting Assessment and I need to change my submission

You can withdraw your own submission only if all of the following are true:

• The Withdraw option was enabled for the activity.
• The due date has not passed.
• An assessment has not been started.

1. Open the activity.
2. Click Withdraw inside the activity. The status changes back to Awaiting Submission.
3. Make your changes and click Submit.

If you can't withdraw, contact your course Instructor. Your Instructor can send the activity back to you. 

My activity says Done and I need to change my submission

You can't resubmit a Done activity yourself. Contact your course instructor, who can reopen it so you can submit again. 

I can't see my course or activity

Your open courses appear on the Progress tab. If you don't see a course, or you see the course but not the activity you need to submit, contact your course Instructor or the SL&L Administrator at your institution. The activity may also be hidden until its Visible date and time.
