# Why can't I submit my assignment?

**Common Causes/Issues:** 

- **Multiple file uploads**  
  Students must ensure that they upload one single file per assessment (merge all your files into one document before uploading or zip them in a folder) unless specified with certain courses.
- **The file is too big**  
  You can try converting your assignment to a PDF to make it smaller.
- **Your Assignment submission deadline has passed**  
  The LMS does not allow assignment uploads past the assignment due date and time. It is the students responsibility to hand in their assignment on time. You can check your assignment due date on the LMS under the 'Assessments' tab.
