How do I submit an assignment on behalf of a student as an instructor?
If enabled by your institution, you can submit an assignment on behalf of a student in the Gradebook.
Notes:
- A File Upload submission type must be allowed to submit an assignment on behalf of a student.
- If you are unable to submit on behalf of a student, your institution has not enabled this permission. Please contact your Canvas admin.
