Did you know that every time a student submits an assignment on Blackboard they now get an email receipt? This is useful to verify that a student successfully submitted the assignment.

Students now receive a notification email for each successful assignment attempt with information about the submission including attached files. If there are ever questions about whether a student successfully submitted an assignment, have the student check his/her email.

In Blackboard Learn Original

Instructors can see these receipts for their students in the Grade Center, by going to Reports – Submission Receipts.

In Blackboard Learn Ultra

Instructors can view submission receipts by clicking the Search by submission receipt number button in the Gradebook.
Submission receipt icon at the top of the gradebook.

Here is an example of the email that students will receive upon successful submission.
