Programming assignments accept uploads of any file type, as well as multiple uploads of different file types per submission.Students can successfully upload files up to a total of 100MB in Gradescope directly or they can submit larger files using a Github or Bitbucket integration.

Jupyter notebooks of over 1MB or any other file type over 100KB will not be rendered directly on the grading page. Larger file sizes can still be downloaded on the grading page.
