  • If it does not immediately display, refresh your web browser.
  • This does not mean your assignment was not submitted. Refresh your browser to display the assignment submission.

The assignment preview should display in the Box preview area on the left.

Remove/Delete Assignment Submission

At this time, there is no method for students to remove assignment submissions.

Most assignment dropboxes are setup to allow multiple submissions. 

To resolve an accidental submission you would like to delete:

  1. Students should re-submit to the assignment dropbox.
  2. Use the Send Email tool within your course to inform the instructor of the previous submission.

Students need not take any further action, unless instructed to do so by their course instructor. Resubmitting the correct assignment and informing the instructor should be sufficient to correct the situation.
