Overview


If students experience difficulty submitting assignments through Canvas, the primary course of action is to contact the instructor. Often, the instructor can easily resolve the issue, but, in some cases, they may need to contact ETM if multiple students are experiencing an issue to which a simple solution is not found. This page describes common reasons why assignments may not submit to Canvas as well as the course of action for different scenarios.
