Not sure how to format your assignment?
Following the correct formatting guidelines helps
ensure your work is clear, organized, and ready
for your instructor to review.
Follow these steps to prepare your assignments
for submission through LearnCenter (Moodle).
Step 1: Review Your Assignment Instructions
Before formatting your document, make sure
you understand the instructions provided
by your instructor.
- Sign in to LearnCenter (Moodle) using your student credentials.
- Open the course containing your assignment.
- Navigate to the week containing the assignment.
- Open the assignment and carefully review
its instructions.
- Look for any specific formatting requirements,
such as document structure, citation style,
page length, or submission file type.
Good to know: Always follow the formatting instructions
provided by your instructor or course syllabus.
These instructions take priority over
general formatting guidelines.
Step 2: Use the Assignment Template
If your instructor has not provided specific
formatting instructions, you can use the
university's assignment template as a guide.
The template provides a starting point
for organizing and formatting your work
consistently.
You may be asked to sign in using your
university Microsoft 365 account.
Once you've reviewed the instructions
or opened the assignment template,
begin preparing your document.
Before submitting, make sure to:
- Follow the required structure. Include any sections requested by your instructor.
- Use the specified formatting. Check for instructions on fonts, spacing,
margins, and other document requirements.
- Include citations and references. Use the citation style required for your
assignment and credit any sources you use.
- Review your document. Check for spelling, grammar,
and formatting inconsistencies.
- Save your assignment. Make sure the file is saved in the
format requested by your instructor.
Step 4: Review Before Submitting
Before uploading your assignment to LearnCenter,
take a moment to review your final document.
- Confirm that you've addressed all
assignment requirements.
- Make sure your document follows
the requested formatting.
- Check that any required citations
and references are included.
- Verify that your file opens correctly
and is ready to upload.
If the instructions are unclear or you
are unsure which formatting guidelines
to follow, try the following:
- Review the assignment instructions. Check for any additional details
provided by your instructor.
- Check your course syllabus. It may contain additional academic
or formatting expectations.
- Contact your instructor. Your instructor is the best person
to clarify assignment formatting
and academic requirements.
