The Basic Submission Procedure Detailed:

Briefly, you need to do the following:

  1. Click on Assignments in the left frame of the RamCT window .

  2. Click on the link with the name of the assignment for which you wish to submit file(s).

    Note: We also recommend that you verify your submissions
    as described later in this document.

  3. Now, to submit these files, you first need to get the files,
    by clicking on the Add Attachments button
        in the middle of the page.

  4. Once all the needed files have been attached,
    click the OK button at the bottom of the page.

  5. Once all the needed files have been attached,
    click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

  6. This last step should submit the files, bringing up
    the Assignment Submission Confirmation page
        that lists all the files that have been
    currently submitted for this particular assignment.

More specific instructions are given next.

Getting to the Assignment Submission page

Click on Assignments in the left frame of the RamCT window .

Click on the link with the name of the assignment for which you wish to submit file(s).

Since you wish to submit an assignment, make sure the Inbox tab is highlighted.

Then click on the link of the assignment you wish to submit,
    which brings up the Submission page for the given assignment.

Your instructor may have added some instructions
    for you at the top of the page.
If so, follow these instructions.
There may even be a instructor attachment
to the original assignment page.

Getting Files for Submission

If you need to submit files,
click on the Add Attachments button halfway down the page.

If the files are stored on your computer,
    just click on the My Computer icon on the left of the window.
You should see a number of Choose File buttons.
Click the top Choose File button, and
    browse to find the first file you need to submit.
Then click the Choose button at the right bottom of the window.
When the former window returns,
you should see the name of the file you choose
    next to the first Choose File button.
Repeat this process, using subsequent Choose File buttons,
    until you have all the files you wish to submit.

You may attach as many files as you wish.
They should have different filenames,
    as they represent different parts of the assignment solution.

If you find that one of the files is wrong,
you may need to remove the file from the list.
    See To Delete Files.

When all the files have been chosen,
click on the OK button on the bottom of the page.
This returns you to the Submission page for the assignment,
where you should see a list of the files
    just above the Add Attachments button.

If you realize a file is missing at this point,
you may click Add Attachments again
    to get the missing file.

Submitting your Assignment

Notice that there is a box on the Submission page
that can be used to create a small file for submission.
    It can be done in HTML, if you wish.
There is another box for comments
below the Add Attachments button.

When you have attached all the needed files
and completed any necessary comments
    in the appropriate boxes,
click on the Submit button on the bottom of the page.
Notice there is also a Cancel button,
as well as a Draft button.

Clicking on the Submit button
brings up the "Are you sure?" window.
Clicking Yes brings you to a Confirmation page,
showing the time and date of submission.
In some courses, this will also send email to the instructor,
saying that you have submitted the assignment.
Click the OK button to return to the Assignment Submission page.

Clicking any of the other buttons will return you
to the Assignment Submission page.
If you clicked the Draft button,
you can return later to complete the submission.

Verifying your Submission

Once you are back to the Assignment Submission page,
you can click on the Submitted tab
    and then on the particular assignment link
to double check what has been submitted.
    See To Verify Your Submission.

Be sure to check the names of all the submitted files
and any contents or comments in the boxes,
    as well as the date and time of submission.

Click the OK button to return to the Assignment Submission page.

Other Comments

If an assignment consists of multiple files,
it is best to browse and find all of the files
    and to submit them together all at once.
