What are Assignments?
Assignments allow you to submit your work online. A variety of activities can be created as an assignment, including papers, reports, case studies, essays, research papers, projects, and presentations. Your instructor can collect your work, review it, grade it, and provide you with feedback.
Assignments in Ultra Courses
You may access your assignments in your Activity Stream, your Calendar, or from within your course. Click on the assignment link to open it.
Before you begin, read the instructions carefully. Check the Details & Information section for your assignment's due date, the number of attempts, points, and grading rubric (if used). If your assignment will be peer reviewed, the peer review information will be available as well.
Create your assignment in a separate application (ex Microsoft Word, Google Doc, etc.) and upload it to the Assignment tool in myLesley.
Once you are ready to submit your assignment, open the Assignment, go to the Submission area, click on the Attachment icon and upload your assignment submission. Or drag and drop your file into the submission box.
In order for your instructor to provide inline feedback on your assignment, submit your file in one of the following formats:
- Document (.doc, .docx)
- Presentation (.ppt, .pptx)
- Spreadsheet (.xls, .xlsx)
Once you have attached your assignment you will see a preview in the Submission box. Click Submit to submit your assignment.
Please note that if your instructor has not allowed multiple attempts you can only submit your assignment once! If you have made an error (ex attached the wrong file), please contact your instructor immediately.
Once you submit your assignment, a submission receipt displays with the option to download a text file for your records. You will also receive an email copy of your submission receipt.

SafeAssign
SafeAssign is service designed to check submitted assignments for originality. SafeAssign compares your submitted assignments against a set of academic papers to identify areas of overlap between the submitted assignment and existing works.
After a paper is processed, SafeAssign generates an Originality Report detailing the percentage of text in the submitted paper that matches existing sources. The report also shows the suspected sources for each section that returns a match. The report does not state whether a phrase that matches a source is properly referenced and your instructor must read the report and determine if you used proper citations.
