Start, revise, and submit assignments

To start your assignment, you first need to link your Google Account to Assignments. You can then open your assignment and, when you are finished, submit it for grading.

Before a due date, you can unsubmit an assignment you mistakenly turned in.

You can attach any file type from Google Drive or your hard drive to your assignment, including:

  • Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides
  • Microsoft®️ Word®️, Excel®️, or PowerPoint®️
  • PDF
  • Image files
  • Text files
  • Video files (WEBM, MPEG4, 3GPP, MOV, AVI, MPEG-PS, WMV, FLV, OGG)

Assignments will automatically convert Microsoft Office®️ files to Google Docs, then saves the files to the Assignments folder in your Google Drive.

  • Archive copies of your submissions.
  • Create an Assignments folder in your Drive that organizes files by course and assignment.

To link your account:

  1. Go to your Blackboard.
  2. Open the assignment.
  3. Sign in with your Google Account.
  4. If it's your first time using Assignments for the course, link your Google Account to the course.
