Student View As the instructor, you will only need to provide the unique address and upload password for students to drop off assignments. Students will not have access to any uploaded files, therefore all your students can use the same address to drop off assignments.

When the student goes to your unique upload address, they must enter the password, and then choose their file.

They will receive a Success message when the upload is complete.
