You’ve logged in to Google Classroom, have joined a class, and accessed class materials. Now, it’s time to submit an assignment. 

To submit an assignment in Google Classroom, you’ll first need to navigate to the “Classwork” section. You can then find your assignment and attach your work. 

From there, it’s as easy as turning it in. Google Classroom also allows users to unsubmit their assignments if you need to make changes or leave a private comment for a teacher about the status of your work. 

It’s important to note that if you don’t click “Turn in” after you attach your work, it won’t be submitted. To verify the status of your assignment, double-check to see if it is labeled as “Turned in.” 

When submitting assignments to Google Classroom on mobile, you’ll also need to make sure you have the iPhone or Android app installed. You can search and download Google Classroom through the app store on your phone. 

Here's how to submit an assignment on Google Classroom.
