Complete Assignments

The Assignments page lets you see your assignment list, open assignments, and submit completed assignments.

Note: Some program-specific assignments appear only within the program and are not listed on this page. If your class uses the Connected Programs Amira or iRead, then the program cards appear at the top of your Assignments page. To view your assignments for Amira and iRead programs, click the card to open the program in a separate window.

If you have assignments for the Connected Programs Waggle, Writable, or Writing Task, those assignments are listed and can be opened on your Assignments page along with all your other assignments. These assignments are also available to view and open within the program cards.

To complete an assignment:

 

1.    In the banner, click the Assignments tab. The Assignments page opens to the To Do tab, which shows all assignments in all subjects that are assigned to you, not completed, and due today, tomorrow, or a future date.

The list is sorted from the assignment with the latest due date (furthest in the future) at the top and the assignment with the earliest due date at the bottom; any assignments due "today" appear at the bottom of the list. Assignments that are past the due date are listed on the Overdue tab.
