Where are my group assignments?
Your instructor can display group assignments in different areas of your course. You might access group assignments from links on the course menu called "Assignments" or "Groups." Or, your instructor might incorporate group assignments into each week's content. Group assignments may also appear in the My Groups panel after the course menu. Ask your instructor if you have questions about how your course is organized.
Your instructor may make some of your group assignments available after a certain date or after you complete a certain task. For example, you might have to mark a lecture as reviewed before you may access a group assignment. Contact your instructor if you don't see a group assignment that you think you should.
If your group submits after the due date, the submission is marked LATE and penalties may apply.
Submit work for a group assignment
Your instructor provides all the information your group needs to complete a group assignment. One group member submits your group assignment. All members of your group receive the same grade for a group assignment.
If you're the member who submits a group assignment for the group, you need to select Submit. If you don't, your instructor won't receive your completed group assignment.
If your instructor hasn't allowed multiple attempts, you may submit your group assignment only once. Before you select Submit, be sure that you've attached any required files.

You can drag the files individually and submit again.

- After you submit, the Review Submission History page appears. You'll see information about your submitted group assignment and a success message with a confirmation number. Copy and save this number as proof of your group's submission. For group assignments with multiple attempts, you receive a different number for each submission. If your institution has enabled email notifications for submission receipts, you'll also receive an email with your confirmation number and details each time you submit coursework.
You won't be able to drag files to upload, view confirmation numbers, or receive email submission receipts if your institution uses an older version of Blackboard Learn.
