eSUBMISSION: MY STUDIES

The My Studies assignment tool is often used when Turnitin is either not required or not appropriate. This may include multiple files, or multimedia submissions for example.

Supported browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Edge. The recommended browser for My Studies is Firefox.

Supported file types for My Studies assignments: My Studies assignments can accept any file type - please check with your tutor what file type you are required to submit.

File size limit: There is no file size limit for My Studies assignments, however we recommend you avoid uploading large files (more than 200mb) as your browser is likely to timeout and prevent you from submitting. 

My Studies assignment tool submission points typically look like the image shown below.

• Check the name of your assignment file, if any of the following points apply, then rename your file prior to upload.
  • Make sure the length of the file name is less than 25 characters long, e.g., ThisFileNameHereWouldBeTooLong.pdf is not good.
  • Check that you do not have fullstops in the file name other than immediately before the file extension,
    e.g., FileOkay.pdf is good. Not.Okay.pdf is not good.
  • Make sure that there are no special characters in your file title, e.g., &*!?<+[=]
     
• Find your Assignment submission point in the module or course area on My Studies. This is usually in a menu item called 'Assessment and Marks'. You'll then see a folder called 'Assignment Submission Points'. Click on this folder to see the submission points. Ask your tutor or course administrator if you are not certain.

• In the Upload Assignment page that opens, review any Assignment Information shown (e.g., Due Date or instructions)

• You can also click 'Browse My Computer' and select a file from your computer to upload. 
• In the pop up window that opens, find and select the file from where it’s stored (e.g. on your computer or a memory stick). Click the Open (MAC) or Choose (PC) button to attach the file.
• Note: You can repeat this process to attach multiple files for submission. You can also click 'Do not attach' next to the file(s) you want to remove.
  
  

• There is a comments section if you wish to make a comment for your tutor to see. Please note that if you require an extension or wish to submit mitigating circumstances this should be done according to your school's guidelines.

• Click the Submit button to complete the process.
  
  
   
• Be patient while your file uploads, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your Internet connection this may take a little time.
• You are then taken to the Review Submissions History page where your submitted assignment is shown on screen for review. A purple success message is shown at the top of page confirming the submission and this contains a copy of your unique submission confirmation number. This number is included on your digital receipt which you can view at any time by going to the My Marks area of the module. You will also receive an email copy of this receipt.
• If you see the message 'conversion in progress' displayed, do not worry. You can still proceed. We do recommend checking back later once the work has been processed so you can check your submission is displaying correctly.
