Submit a Timed Assignment

A timed Drop Box allows you to submit an assignment only during a limited amount of time. The timed Drop Box must first be unlocked in order for the countdown to begin. Once the countdown has started, you will have a set amount of time to read the instructions, work on the assignment, and then upload your finished work to the Drop Box.

Note: If a timed Drop Box is set up to allow you to resubmit your work, you must resubmit the file before the time limit expires and even if you are allowed to submit after the deadline.
