There may be times in which your assignment was submitted without uploading all required files or with incorrect files. If you have noticed this is the case for one of your assignments, you are able to submit a Reassignment Request.

IMPORTANT You are unable to submit a Reassignment Request for an assignment where the assignment due date has passed or grading has already begun. If there was a mistake with your assignment submission and you are unable to submit a Reassignment Request, reach out to your instructor to have your assignment reassigned.

1. To send a Reassignment Request, start by clicking Review Submission.
   
2. Scroll to the Reassignment Request section at the bottom of the page and click the right-facing arrow button.
   

3. Fill the Reassignment Request Comment textbox with the reason you are reassigning this assignment.
   

   NOTE If you would like to use additional formatting when writing your reassignment request comment, you can click the Aa button in the bottom-left to open the formatting toolbar. For more information about the formatting toolbar, check out the Classroom Communication article.
4. Once you have written your reassignment request comment, click Review & Submit Request.
   

5. Once the Review & Submit Request window pops up, you can review your previously submitted files alongside your written reassignment request comment. If you are sure that you would like the assignment reassigned, click Submit Request
   

   NOTE Your Reassignment Request will automatically be approved if the assignment due date has not passed and your instructor has not started grading your submission.

6. Once the Reassignment Request is approved, it will reopen the assignment with the same due date that was set before the reassignment. Now that it is reopened, you are able to resubmit the correct files.
   

   NOTE Your Reassignment Request will not be approved if the assignment due date has passed or your instructor has started grading your submission.
   

There may be times in which your assignment needs to reassigned. If one of your assignments has been reassigned, you will see this indicated in assessment status.

1. To resubmit the assignment, start by clicking Submit Assignment.
   
2. Once on the assignment details page, click Attempt History.
   
3. In the Attempt History window, you can view all the times the assignment has been reassigned and any comments that the instructor may have provided. When you are ready to resubmit the assignment, select Go To Submit.
   
4. You will be directed to the next attempt window. Select Upload Files to upload the new revised documents.
   
5. Once you are ready to resubmit the assignment, select Review and Submit Assignment. A pop-up will appear allowing you to review all the attached documents and select the files that you want to submit. Press Submit Assignment to finish the resubmission process.
   

The rest of the submission process is identical to how you submitted the assignment originally. See the Submitting an Assignment heading above for a step-by-step walkthrough.

Some assessments will have an attachment at the bottom of the description. These attachments are typically files that include templates or worksheets that are needed to complete your assignment. There may be multiple attachments on an assessment, which will need to be downloaded separately. These files must be downloaded before being able to access any links on the attachment.

1. To open an attachment, click or tap on the blue link at the bottom of the assignment description. The link should say the name of the attachment but may end with … if the file name is too long to display.
   
2. Clicking the link will bring you to the attachment Preview page. This page only shows you the content of the file and is not editable. The version of the file in the preview window may look different than the actual file's formatting due to this. To download the attachment, click the blue Download button in the top-right of the page.
   
3. This will download the file into the Downloads folder on your computer. Depending on your browser, you may see a pop-up in the top-right of your screen. Clicking this pop-up will open the file for you to use.
   

An assignment that is active and ready for submission will give you the option to "Upload Files". If this button is clickable, you should be able to upload a document from your computer and submit the file(s) for grading. Here are a few reasons why you may not be able to click this button:

• The assignment has not started yet. You can only upload files once the start date of the assignment has been reached. This does not mean you cannot start working on your assignment early; you just can't submit it until the assignment start date has passed. You will also see a message "Start Date has not passed" where the Review & Submit button usually is.
• The assignment has already been submitted. If you have already final submitted an assignment, you will not be able to upload any additional files. If you need to submit multiple files, ensure that you are uploading all files before selecting Review & Submit. Reach out to the instructor to have the assignment reassigned.
• The assignment has already been graded. If the instructor grades the assignment, you will not be able to select files or submit the assignment. If you need to submit the assignment, reach out to the instructor to have the assignment reassigned.
• There may be an issue with your internet browser preventing you from submitting your assignment. The symptoms of this issue may be a never-ending processing request when attempting to upload or an inability to click the Upload Files button. If this sounds like what you are experiencing, please clear your cache and cookies and try again.

If you've uploaded files but have not submitted them for grading or to LopesWrite, a delete button will be available to the right of the file name.

Once a file has been sent for a LopesWrite report, you will not be able to delete it. However, files submitted to LopesWrite can be archived. To archive the file, select the archive button to the right of the delete button. For more information regarding the archival process, check out the LopesWrite article.

There may come a time when you submit the wrong attempt to your instructor or the file that was uploaded wasn't your most current revision. Accidents happen! Halo will only allow you to submit one attempt to your instructor. Once an attempt has been sent, no new attempts can be created for that assignment unless it is reassigned. If the assignment due date has not passed and your instructor has not graded it, you can submit a reassignment request to automatically reassign the assignment. Check out the Using Reassignment Requests accordion above for more information about reassignment requests. Other than reassignment requests, the best course of action is to contact your instructor and let them know what happened. If possible, you may also ask your instructor to reassign your assignment. Open and honest communication with your instructor is always the best policy.

If you are unable to submit a group assignment, it may have already been submitted by another member of your group. If another member submitted the assignment, their name and submission date will be listed under the Submitted By column under Submitted Files. We recommend working with your group to determine who should submit the assignments. If your group submitted without uploading all required files or with incorrect files, you may be able to reassign it using a reassignment request. Check out the Using Reassignment Requests accordion above for more information about reassignment requests.

As stated in the cautionary text in the preview mode, the formatting might not be consistent with the submitted document's formatting. In this case, we recommend downloading and reviewing the submitted file.

In many cases, you will be able to see your quiz scores automatically. This is because Halo quizzes have an auto-grading feature. However, in some cases (i.e., written responses), your instructor must manually grade your submission. In this case, the quiz will have a Submitted status and you will see the following message on the quiz page: "This assessment has been submitted. You will receive a Halo Gradebook notification once the results are published." This means your instructor has not yet graded the assessment. Once it is graded, the score will populate in your Gradebook. For further assistance on this, please reach out to your instructor.

Instructors may leave comments after reassigning an assignment. This feedback can be found in the Attempt History of the Assignment Submission page. Follow the steps below to find your feedback on a reassigned assignment.

1. To view these comments, start by clicking Submit Assignment.
   
2. Once on the assignment details page, click Attempt History.
   
3. In the Attempt History window, you can view all the times the assignment has been reassigned and any comments the instructor may have provided for each attempt.
   

If your assignment is reassigned, any rubric comments or instructor comments provided before the reassignment may be no longer be available. Once you resubmit the reassigned assignment and it is graded again, you will be able to view any new feedback the instructor provided. If you have questions about earlier feedback, contact your instructor directly.

If you attempt to upload a file that has a file size greater than 40MB, you may receive the error message, "Maximum file size is 40MB." If you receive this error, we recommend checking out our Compressing your File(s) to Upload to Halo Learn article for assistance with reducing the file size.

If you attempt to upload a file that is not supported by Halo Learn, you may receive the error message, "Skipped unsupported file format." If you receive this error, we recommend checking out our Invalid File Type Error in Halo Learn article for more information about uploading unsupported file types.

If you attempt to upload a file that has a file name that contains greater than 200 characters or the file name contains unacceptable characters, you may receive the error message, "File name too long or file name contains unacceptable characters (LW accepts Latin Encoding and Halo accepts UTF-8)." If you receive this error, we recommend renaming the file. Common unacceptable characters include en dashes (–), em dashes (—), curly apostrophes (’), and curly double quotes (”).
