Canvas allows you to participate in discussions, take quizzes/tests, and submit papers and assignments.
### View Assignments
You can access assignments in a number of ways in Canvas, including Course Navigation, user or course dashboard, the Syllabus, Gradebook, Calendar or Modules.
1. To access assignments through the course navigation, select **Assignments **in the left course menu.
2. To access your assignments through Modules, click on **Modules **in the left course menu, then navigate to your assignment. To view assignment details, click on the assignment’s title.
### Submit Assignments
Before submitting an assignment, you may want to review all assignment information, such as the [assignment rubric](https://guides.instructure.com/a/54352), if any. To submit an assignment, click **Start Assignment**.
You can submit online assignments in Canvas using [several submission types](https://guides.instructure.com/m/4212/l/41972-how-do-i-submit-an-online-assignment#select_submission_type). Instructors can choose what kind of online submissions they want you to use. You may also have the option to [resubmit assignments](https://guides.instructure.com/m/4212/l/41972-how-do-i-submit-an-online-assignment#view-assignment-with-limited-attempts) if your instructor allows.
Any attachments added as part of a graded assignment submission are also copied to your [user files](https://guides.instructure.com/a/41989) but are not counted against your user quota. However, once the file has been uploaded as a submission, you cannot delete the file. Files are stored in the Submissions folder.
*Note: If you cannot see the Start Assignment button, your instructor may not want you to submit your assignment online or the availability date has passed. View the description of the assignment for instructions, or contact your instructor for assistance.*
