Accessing my assignments

As a student, your instructor manages access to assignments. If you cannot access an assignment, first contact your instructor and ask them to confirm that the assignment is assigned to you, published, and located somewhere in the course that you can access. 

Depending on how your instructor configured your course, you may be able to access assignments from a few locations. 

Note: If your assignment uses an external service or tool, the tool may restrict access to the assignment (i.e. assignment access dates set within the tool). Check with your instructor, or reach out to the support team for the external service or tool for more information.
