Submitting to a LEARN Dropbox

Description

Please note that the following instructions pertain to your specific course. If you are taking another online course those instructions may differ.

General Guidelines

  • Ensure that the name of your file does not include special characters such as symbols or punctuation. Such characters may cause problems when uploading your file.
  • Unless otherwise instructed, please submit only ONE file per assignment (i.e., combine all documents into one file).
  • Do not zip your files.
  • Keep a copy of your assignment.
  • If your submission is successful, you will receive an Email Confirmation Receipt sent to your @uwaterloo.ca email address. If you do not receive an Email Confirmation Receipt, please double-check your submission and resubmit if necessary.
  • Keep all Email Confirmation Receipts until the course is over as proof of submission.

Options for Making PDFs From Digital Assignments

Most word processing software applications will allow you to save your file as a PDF; however, if you require software to create PDFs, some free options are listed below:

  • Use the Microsoft Office 365 account provided to students to access Word, where you can save or download your document as a PDF.
  • Use a free word processing application that can export directly to PDF, such as OpenOffice.
  • Download and install a PDF application, such as PrimoPDF.
