A Guide To Submitting Your Assignments
Through UCB Online
Introduction
The Assignment tool within UCB Online is identifiable with the image below.
You will find this icon every time that you are required to complete an assessed piece of work which
involves the submission of a file such a word processed report, essay or any other type of electronic
file that you have produced.
The procedure described in this document will help you to submit
assessments electronically via UCB Online.
Important: You should only use this method of submission if you have been advised
to do so by your lecturer. Otherwise please
hand-in your assessed work via the Resource Centre.

remove it with this option. If the same file is attached to your assignment more than once, the new file is saved
with a number appended to the name. For example, Assignment1_Report(1).doc

must ensure that you upload them together by clicking the ‘Browse My Computer’ button again and selecting the other
