  4. Drag and drop the file into the submission box for the corresponding week (make sure to check the participation date and session type) and submit it. Wait about 10 seconds until the Word icon appears.

Point Accreditation After Submission

After submission, ELC will review the content. If there are no issues, points will be credited, and you will be notified via the feedback comment on MOE.

If there are any issues, you will be asked to resubmit through the feedback comment on MOE. In this case, you must correct the issues and resubmit in order to receive points (there is also a deadline for resubmission).

Please make sure to check the feedback comments after submission.

How to Check Feedback

When a feedback comment is added on MOE, you will receive a notification sent to your TUFS email address. You can open the link attached to this email to check the feedback.

Alternatively, you can check the feedback by opening the submission box for the SS you submitted on MOE and scrolling down to the bottom.

Common Reasons for Resubmission

Failure to Rename the File

If the file name has not been changed according to the instructions in step 2 of the ‘Submission Rules’ above.

File Name Errors

If there are mistakes in the renamed file name, such as an incorrect student ID, wrong participation date (e.g., the date of submission instead of the session date), or incorrect advisor name.

Failure to Use the Specified Format

If the required format is not used.

Essay Word Count is Outside the Specified Range (100–150 words)

If the essay has fewer than 100 words or more than 150 words.
