Assignment FAQs

You can’t edit a submitted assignment, but you may be allowed to resubmit it. However, you can’t resubmit all assignments. Check if you can submit an assignment more than once. If you can’t and made a mistake, you must contact your instructor to ask for the opportunity to resubmit the assignment.

In the Original Course View, if your instructor allows you to submit an assignment more than once, a Start New function appears on the Review Submission History page. Select the assignment link in your course to access the Review Submission History page.

You must discuss this issue with your instructor.

When you submit an assignment successfully, the Review Submission History page appears with information about your submitted assignment and a success message with a confirmation number. You can copy and save this number as proof of your submission. For assignments with multiple attempts, you receive a different number for each submission. If your institution has enabled email notifications for submission receipts, you’ll also receive an email with your confirmation number and details each time you submit coursework.

You can access your submission receipts from the Submitted tab on the My Grades page. Select the number next to Submission Receipts at the bottom of the list to see your submission history.

You won’t be able to view confirmation numbers or receive email submission receipts if your institution uses an older version of Blackboard Learn.

Your instructor controls the date when assignments become available. You might also have to meet other criteria to access the assignment. For example, you might have to mark a lecture as reviewed first. Contact your instructor for more information.

For help with issues such as this one, you should contact your instructor or the help desk at your school. If you aren’t sure how to contact the help desk, look for the technology office on your institution’s website. You can also search the web for your institution’s name + Blackboard + help or support. Also, make sure you use a supported internet browser and operating system for the version of Blackboard that your school uses.
