Changing a Submitted Assignment

Issue/Question

Can I change an assignment after it has been submitted?

Environment

  • Blackboard

Resolution

It is not possible to change an assignment after it has been submitted.

If the instructor has enabled multiple submission attempts, you may see a Start a new submission (Original courses) or a View instructions (Ultra courses) button, indicating you may resubmit the assignment. We recommend contacting the instructor to let them know that you have submitted the assignment twice.

If you do not see the Start a new submission or View instructions button, then you must contact the instructor and have them clear your attempt at the assignment before you can submit again.
