Under the text box labeled Submission, you can insert your assignment in one of two ways. You can either type your assignment directly into the text box, or you can type your assignment in a word processor such as Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, then copy and paste it into the Submission box. It is recommended that you use a word processor to complete your assignment, save it to your hard drive, and then copy and paste it into Illinois Compass. This way, you have a back-up of your assignment in case you have problems submitting it.

If needed, you can add a comment for your instructor. When you are finished with your assignment and are ready to submit it, click Submit. If you are finished with your assignment, but would like to save it as a draft and submit it at a later date, click Save as Draft. If you would like to cancel your assignment and start over later, click Cancel.
