Blackboard Ultra (Faculty) - Assignments: View Students' Blackboard Assignment Submission Receipts

This article describes how faculty can view student submission receipts in Blackboard Ultra course view.

View Student Submission Receipts

Faculty can view student submission receipts in Blackboard Ultra to confirm that students have successfully submitted their assignments. A student will receive a submission receipt upon submitting an assignment that will allow the instructor to look up that specific submission. 

Steps to View Submission Receipts:

  1. Navigate to the Gradebook tab of the course.

        The top navigational bar in Blackboard with the Gradebook tab highlighted.

  2. To search for a student's submission using the receipt number provided by the student, click on the receipt icon (looks like a paper with a magnifying glass) on the right side of the screen. 

        The paper with a magnifying glass icon is highlighted.

  3. Enter the receipt number into the search bar. If the receipt number is valid, it will pull up the submission. The receipt will show which assignment was submitted, who it was submitted by, as well as, the date and time of submission.

Alternative Methods to View Submission Receipts:

  1. Navigate to the Gradebook tab of the course.
  2. To view a submission, select the assignment.

    List of assignment submissions shows the gradable items. Click on a item to view it.

  3. Click on the student's name.

    Username with submission attempted information displayed. Submission is marked submitted.

  4. In the top right corner of the screen, the submission details can be found. The information will include the date and time of submission, and the receipt number

    Submitted status shows the date, time, and receipt number. There is a white oval to manually enter the grade.

Troubleshooting

If the "View submission receipt" option is not available, it may indicate that the student did not successfully submit the assignment through Blackboard. Encourage the student to resubmit, ensuring they follow all submission steps.
