## Student assignment submission procedure

### Student notification—how to submit

1. The Canvas assignment set-up (as per data provided by administrators in ‘[key data collection (step 1)](https://teachwell.auckland.ac.nz/assessment/marking-grading/grading-sub-doctoral-research-projects)‘) automatically creates a ‘**To do**‘ item in Canvas, which students click to submit their research **[1]**:

Note: If desired, administrators may choose to send an email to students prior to submission indicating that the course is on their Canvas Dashboard and will be used for their final research assessment submission.
