Instructions for Submitting Documents Via E-Submit
Before Submitting Your Document
1) Make sure that you save your document as a Word document
or in Rich Text Format, as these are the only two formats E-Submit
will upload. To save in one of these formats, open your word
processing program, and choose "Save As" from the "File" menu. In
the "Save as type" or “Format” box, select either "Word
Document (*.doc)" or "Rich Text Format (*.rtf)."
2) When you name your file, do not include characters other
than letters, numbers, hyphens (-) or underscores (_). E-Submit
will not accept files whose names contain ampersands (&), pound
signs (#), asterisks (*), or other non-alphanumeric characters.
3) Give all your files unique file names so that you upload
the correct document to E-Submit.
To Submit Your Document
1) Click on the link to the E-Submit
turn-in area and log in with your UW Net ID (the same name and password you
use to access UW email). If
you do not
have a UW Net ID, you can set one up online.
2) Select "Turn in Documents" and click the "Next" button at the bottom of the
screen. You will come to a screen with a list of all assignments and due
dates.
3) Select the assignment for which you want to submit a document (for
example, "Midterm Essay") and click the "Next" button at
the
bottom of
the screen. You will come to a screen that says "Submit Your
Documents."
4) Type in the title of your document, for example, "Gillis-Bridges Midterm Essay" in
the "Document Title" box. If you have any comments or concerns
about the assignment, type them in the "Comment" box.
5) Click the "Browse" button next to the "File" box to look for your
file. Once you've found the correct file, click "Open." You do not
need to select anything in the "Format" box.
6) Click the "Submit Documents" button at the bottom of the
screen. A box will appear telling you that your document is being
processed. Click "OK."
7) Once the document has uploaded, you will receive a digital
receipt. You may print the receipt or have a copy of the receipt emailed
to yourself.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot select a
particular assignment, make sure that the assignment you're trying to
select is "Open." The status of each assignment is listed on
the "Turn in Documents" page. E-Submit uses the atomic clock to time stamp
each assignment submitted. If you try to submit a document due at five
o'clock
at 5:01, you won't be able to do so, as the assignment will be "Closed." I
have created late folders for each essay
revision. If you're submitting work after the deadline, you'll need to
submit it to the late folder.
If your document
does not upload, it's probably due to one of the following
reasons:
- You have not completed all required fields on the "Submit Your Documents" screen. Make
sure that you type in a title in the "Document Title" window; the program
requires this information.
- You have not saved your document in the correct format. E-Submit
only uploads documents saved in Word or Rich Text format. See above
for instructions on saving in one of these formats.
- You have tried to submit more than one document to a single assignment
area. If you want to replace a submitted document with a more recent
version, you’ll have to delete the older document and upload the new
one.
Editing Document Information and Deleting Documents
To edit the title of your document or the comments you submitted with the
document:
- Go to E-Submit and select “Edit Information About My Documents” from
the “Document Turn-In Area” screen. Click the “Next” button
at the bottom of the screen.
- Select the document for which you want to edit information and select the “Edit
Info” button at the bottom of the screen.
- Edit your information and click the “Save Changes” button at
the bottom of the screen. You should then see a screen that confirms
your changes have been made.
To delete your document:
- Go to the E-Submit area and select “Delete My Documents” from the “Document
Turn-In Area” screen. Click the “Next” button at
the bottom of the screen.
- Select the document you want to delete and select the “Delete” button
at the bottom of the screen.
- You will be asked to confirm the deletion. Click “Confirm Deletion” if
the file listed in the box is the file you want to delete. You should then
see a screen that verifies the deletion.
