Important things you need to know when submitting your work
  1. You can upload your work directly from OneDrive or from your Desktop, My Documents or a USB stick.
  2. Do not upload links in the submission area, as we cannot access them and therefore cannot mark your work. If you have saved your files on your University of Salford OneDrive, dragging files may attach a link instead of the file. Always attach files using the paperclip icon.
  3. Use the correct naming convention for your files - your school may specify a particular format.
  4. You can attach multiple files to your assessment, but only one file can be uploaded at a time. After uploading all files, submit your work.
  5. You must ensure all files are attached before submitting.
  6. When you submit work for marking, you are accepting the ‘Student submission declaration’. This can be located In your submission area on Blackboard.
  7. The maximum limit for each submission is 1Gb in total.

Have you uploaded an incorrect file to a Blackboard Assignment area? Has something gone wrong with your submission? If so, please contact Digital IT Services through the Digital IT Portal > Request Something > Assessments & Blackboard > Delete a Submission.

Be aware of essay mills

Essay mills (organisations that sell essays and assessments) target students via email and social media by offering writing support. Essay mills are illegal and using them is plagiarism, which is a serious breach of our Academic Misconduct Procedure. Do not respond if these companies target you. Instead, report the email to our Digital IT team via Outlook or directly on social media (for being illegal) and block the sender.
