Please remember if you have not done so to change your My Account settings to your new CU Id beginning with a C in order to access your courses) Log-in to your LiveText account. Your Dashboard should be the first screen you see. On the Dashboard, you will see your courses with assignments for each course. You will also be able to see the status of any assignments you need to start, have already started or have finished. To begin uploading an assignment, click on the Begin Assignment button.

2 After choosing the Begin Assignment button, you will be taken to the assignment page that shows details about the assignment. On this page you will see: 1. The name of the assignment 2. The assignment due date (Step 1) Note: Check with your instructor for true assignment upload due date. This is a default date. 3. The attach files option for uploading file attachments to you assignment (Step 2) 4. The Submit Assignment comment and/or URL section (Step 3) **Note: You must include an attachment or URL/comment in the comments section in order for the Submit Assignment button to become active.

3 To upload/attach a document to your assignment: 1. In Step 2, choose the Attach button. You will be prompted with an Attach Files box that allows you to upload files. 2. Choose the Upload selection and click Browse to search for the document(s) you want to attach to the assignment. 3. After selecting the document, you will see a progress bar that shows the document uploading. The upload is not complete until the progress bar disappears and the status turns to Completed.

4 You may upload more than one file to the assignment but only one file can be selected at a time. To upload another file, follow the instructions listed above. As each file uploads, you will be able to see the progress of each in the window. Only after the file is listed as Completed is it fully uploaded.

5 Please note: If your assignment requires multiple documents or files of a large size to be uploaded, you can create a zip file and then upload to the assignment. See instructions below on creating a zip file. For PC users: Create a folder. Name the folder to whatever you want the ZIP file to be named. Place all of the files that you want to zip into that folder. You can place multiple files and folders into the folder that you are creating the ZIP file from. Right-click on the folder. Hover your cursor over the Send to option. This will open a new submenu. Select Compressed (zipped) folder. Wait for the folder to be created. If you are adding a lot of files to the new ZIP file, it may take a few moments to create it. A progress bar will appear as files are added. Once the process is complete, the ZIP file will appear in the same location as the original folder. For MAC users: Create a folder. Name the folder to whatever you want the ZIP file to be named. Place all of the files that you want to zip into that folder. You can place multiple files and folders into the folder that you are creating the ZIP file from. Right-click on the folder. Click the Compress option. The folder will be compressed into a ZIP file. The new ZIP file will be located in the same location as the folder that you compressed.

6 When all files you have uploaded are complete, they will be listed in the top section. You will need to click the Attach button to attach the files to your assignment. If you need to remove a file that is listed here, simply click the x next to the document you d like to delete.

7 After attaching a document to the assignment, you will see it listed in step 2. Again, to remove the attachment, click the x next to the file. To upload another file, choose the Attach button again, and follow the above steps for uploading an attachment. If no attachments are required for the assignment, see the next page for details on submitting your assignment. **Make sure you have uploaded all documents or provided comments/url s for this assignment before clicking the red Submit Assignment button in the bottom right of the screen.

8 If you are not required to attach a document to the assignment, you are given the opportunity to list comments and/or any URL s that may relevant to the assignment (Step 3).
