How to complete assignments in Class Companion (for students)
Last updated: November 5, 2026
When you complete an assignment in Class Companion, you’ll move through a guided experience that helps you understand your assignment, submit your work, and review results when they’re available.
Your teacher can choose when you see feedback and scores. Depending on the assignment settings, results may appear right away or become available later.
Who this is for: Students completing regular assignments in Class Companion.
Overview: what you’ll do
You will take the following steps:
Log in through your school's system.
Select one of your classes from your homepage.
Open the assignment you're working on.
Read your teacher's instructions.
Review the rubric, if it's available.
Write your response and submit individual attempts when the option is available.
Review feedback or scores when they're available.
Revise and resubmit your work if multiple attempts are allowed.
Turn in your assignment when you've finished all questions.
Review your progress and available results.
Step-by-step: What you’ll see and do
1. Logging in
After logging in through your school’s system, you’ll land on your Class Companion homepage.
Here, you’ll see:
A welcome message at the top.
All of the classes you’re currently enrolled in.
A note showing how many assignments are available in each class.
To get started, select the class you’re working in.
2. Opening the assignment
Once you open a class, you’ll see a list of assignments for that course.
For each assignment, you can see:
The assignment name.
Its status (not started, in progress, complete, or missed).
Due dates and scores, if available.
Select the assignment title to open it and begin working.
3. Getting oriented on the assignment page
When the assignment opens, you’ll see everything you need to get started in one place.
At the top of the page, you’ll find:
The assignment title.
An introduction explaining what you’re expected to learn or demonstrate.
Any reading excerpts, images, or reference materials your teacher included.
Below that, you’ll see each question you need to respond to.
4. Review rubric
If your teacher has made the rubric available, select View rubric next to a question before you begin writing.
The rubric can show:
What your teacher is looking for in your response.
How points are earned for different parts of the question.
What stronger responses may include.
Reviewing the rubric can help you understand what to focus on as you write.
If View rubric isn't available, your teacher may have chosen to hide rubric criteria while you complete the assignment.
5. Answering questions
Answering multiple-choice questions
Some questions ask you to select an answer instead of writing a response.
Read the question and review the available answers.
Select the answer you think is correct.
If Submit attempt is available, select it when you're ready to submit your answer.
If the question doesn't have a Submit attempt button, continue answering the remaining questions. When you've finished, select Turn in assignment to submit your work.
Answering free response questions
Under each free response question, you'll see a response box where you can type your answer. Class Companion automatically saves your responses as you work, so you don't need to save a draft manually.
As you work, you can:
Continue editing until you're ready.
See how many attempts you have remaining when the question allows multiple attempts.
When a question has a Submit attempt button, select it when you're ready to submit your response for that attempt. The button keeps the same label even when you have only one attempt remaining.
Questions configured to allow only one attempt don't have a separate Submit attempt button. You can continue editing your response until you turn in the assignment.
Note: Depending on your assignment's feedback settings, you may not see an individual Submit attempt button, even when multiple attempts are allowed. Follow your teacher's instructions and turn in your assignment when you're finished.
What happens next depends on the settings your teacher selected. You may receive feedback after submitting an attempt, or your feedback may become available later.
If your assignment uses immediate feedback, you may see a brief loading screen while Class Companion generates your results.
6. Reviewing feedback and scores
Your teacher controls when feedback becomes available. Depending on the assignment, you may receive feedback:
After you submit each question.
After you've submitted at least one attempt for every question.
After the assignment closes.
When your teacher chooses to release it.
Your teacher can also control what information appears. You may see:
Written feedback.
A score.
Both written feedback and a score.
Neither until your teacher releases additional results.
When written feedback is available, it may include comments about strengths in your response and suggestions for what you could consider next.
If scores or written feedback aren't available after you submit, you don't need to resubmit to make them appear. Continue following your teacher's directions for the assignment.
Note: Class Companion doesn't notify you when your teacher releases feedback or scores. Your teacher may let you know when results are ready to review.
7. Revising and trying again
If your teacher allows multiple attempts, you can revise and resubmit your response.
If feedback is available, you can:
Review feedback from your previous attempt.
Edit your response in the text box.
Select Submit attempt when the button is available to submit your revised response.
If feedback isn't available yet, continue working on your assignment and follow your teacher's directions for submitting your work.
Each attempt gives you another opportunity to strengthen your response.
8. Disputing feedback (optional)
After submitting your work, you can request a review of your score or feedback once it's available. Select the flag icon and choose Dispute score to ask your teacher to review your work.
This allows you to:
Explain your thinking in a short reflection.
Clarify what you were trying to show in your response.
Ask your teacher to review your work more closely.
The system keeps your highest score unless your teacher chooses to update it.
9. Turning in your assignment
After you've finished answering your questions, scroll to the bottom of the assignment and select Turn in assignment.
Turning in your assignment submits your completed work. This is different from selecting Submit attempt, which submits an individual question attempt.
If every question allows only one attempt, Class Companion displays a confirmation that your responses will be submitted for scoring.
10. Viewing your progress
After completing an assignment, you may be able to return to review the information your teacher has made available, including:
Feedback from your attempts.
Your score history.
Comments your teacher added.
What you can review depends on the assignment settings. Your teacher can control whether assignment content, written feedback, and scores remain available to students.
You'll only see your own work and progress.
