Submitting assignments on the VLE

Written assignments like essays and reports are often submitted on the VLE.

Submission points are found either in a specific module VLE site or in a special assessments site for all modules on your course.

• Find out where the submission point is far in advance of the deadline.
• Don't submit assignments on a mobile device.
• Read the guidelines carefully - check the deadline, file type requirements and other information so you know what you need to do.
